Kingdom of Mutapa
The Kingdom of Mutapa - sometimes referred to as the Mutapa Empire (Shona: ''Mwene we Mutapa'' or more commonly and modern "Munhumutapa"; (ポルトガル語:Monomotapa)) - was a Shona kingdom which stretched from the Zambezi through the Limpopo rivers to the Indian Ocean in southern Africa, in what are the modern states of Zimbabwe, South Africa, Lesotho, Swaziland, Mozambique and parts of Namibia and Botswana; stretching well into modern Zambia. Its founders are descendants of the builders who constructed Great Zimbabwe.
== Etymology ==
The Portuguese term ''Monomotapa'' is a transliteration of the title ''Mwenemutapa'' (Prince of the land), ''Mwene'' meaning (Prince) and ''Mutapa'' meaning (Land). However the title came to be applied to the Kingdom as a whole, and was used to indicate its territory on maps of the period.
Copper was transported from Mutapa empire to the coast for trade business
