Art,+Literature,+and+Music+of+Great+Zimbabwe

__Art literature music__
-Carvings found, such as anthropomorphic carvings and birds -8 carved soapstone birds found. They were on collums, 16 inches tall on average - These birds have human and bird features - one bird on modern day Zimbabwean flag - These birds could have represented past rulers - Shona people believe birds of prey are messengers between the living, ancestors and Gods - I have no evidence for music but I would guess it was part of life because it is a part of life in Africa. - Mbira (thumb Piano) has been played by Shona people in Zimbabwe for thousands of years, so I would it guess it been played in great Zimbabwe as well. - There was no written languge in Great ZImbabwe. That is partly why so little is known about it
