I find Great Zimbabwe's stone enclosures were the most impressive because they took a long time to build. It is also cool that it was not used for protection, but to show the king's power and wealth. It is also cool how they took a long time just to build these walls for a king. It must of been really hard for people to build the enclosures.

I found all 4 of the African kingdoms to be fascinating. However, I think the stone churches of Ethiopia to be the most impressive. I think it is crazy how they were able to dig their way down 30 or more feet to build/ hollow out a stone church. They made it out of stone due to the lack of building resources, this shows that the Ethiopians were extremely resourceful. A close second for me was Kilwa. Kilwa is cool because they did so much trading that a new culture and language developed that still is used in 2 different countries today. The walls of Great Zimbabwe are cool but everyone builds walls, not everyone builds a stone church into the ground. Finally, the masks and artwork of Benin express cultural ideas but again cannot compete with a church built out of volcanic rock. I am not even sure if there are other underground churches like this in the world. This makes the Ethiopian churches even more unique in my opinion.

I agree with you that Ethiopia's churches were impressive even though I said Great Zimbabwe's walls were the most impressive. It is cool how they built the churches out of volcanic rock. I also agree with you that all of the 4 African Kingdoms are impressive too. So, all of the kingdoms have impressive structures they built or things that they did.

I find the most interested was Great Zimbabwe. Because of their walls it is amazing that they didn't build the walls for for part-action. But to see the kings wealth.

I think that the most impressive one was Ethiopia. The king of Ethiopia built 11 christian churches out of volcanic rock. They were really cool because they dug down into the ground for 30 feet to build it.

Out of the four kingdoms, I found Kilwa to be the most interesting. For one reason they had the trade routes which made them money. Also it would be cool to own the ocean trade route.

I think Great Zimbabwe is most impressive because they built the walls without any material keeping it together. They just placed the bricks on top of each other and balanced them. Yet these walls are still standing today. I thought that was VERY impressing.

I think I like the great zinbabwe because of the big wall. Back then they did not have any power tools so it was hard.
