Karl Mauch
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Karl Gottlieb Mauch (May 7, 1837 - April 4, 1875) was a German explorer of Africa. He reported on the archaeological ruins of Great Zimbabwe in 1871. Due to the culture-bound paradigm of ethnocentrism that was popular in the 19th century, Mauch and his contemporaries have been largely discredited by historians and archaeologists.
