No. 1: Mwene Mutapa (or Monomatapas) was the first major civilisation of Zimbabwe - Egyptian is a LOT further north, even though at it's height the Egyptian territory did spread south through what is now Sudan.

2: King Mutota

3: Portugal

4: Southern Rhodesia, Northern Rhodesia (now Zambia) and Nyasaland (now Malawi)

5: Garfield Todd

Do I qualify for a smartarse???
