Historical events in zimbabwe?showsThe gold trade from Sofala to Kilwa, on which Great Zimbabwe's wealth depended, reached its height in this century and then went into a steep decline, influencing the rapid decline of Great Zimbabwe as a political and trading center. The site was abandoned at the end of the 15th century, perhaps as a result of environmental degradation. The decline of Great Zimbabwe coincided with the emergence of the Rozwi Empire under a ruler known as Mwene Mutapa (Master Pillager). About 1490 the southern part split off, leaving Mutapa with domain over a region south of the Zambezi stretching to the Indian Ocean. This northward shift of power was related to new gold production from 1450 on the Zambezi tributaries.
