## Image Caption

A 1635 CE map of southern [Africa](https://www.worldhistory.org/disambiguation/africa/) by Willem Janszoon Blaeu. It shows the kingdom of Monomotapa (aka [Mutapa](https://www.worldhistory.org/Mutapa/)), although it inaccurately shows the kingdom's spread over a far larger area than it actually controlled around the Zambezi River.
