Answer: Great Zimbabwe

Step-by-step explanation:

Great Zimbabwe was the capital of an ancient empire in modern day Zimbabwe. There is a lot that is unknown about the empire that this city was the capital of but the city itself is a testament to the architectural prowess of its people and at its height, the city is said to have housed 18,000 people.

The name Zimbabwe is derived from the local Shona language and it means "stone buildings". The "Great" is added to signify that this city is the largest of the various other stone buildings that have been discovered.
