Gives envoys and boosts yields from city-states you are suzerain of.

Kilwa Kisiwani grants bonus envoys and boosts yields from City States of which you are the Suzerain.

Ahhh mystery solved. It was a wonder

Ahhh mystery solved. It was a wonder

And we guessed it correctly, pretty much.

 

[God of Kings]

Fridays are now for wonder movies and natural wonders then.

And thus the mystery is solved.

I'm not sure about Natural Wonders being revealed on Friday. Would they show a video of a unit discovering them?

Well, the case of the mysterious wonder has been solved. It is an interesting choice to a wonder, I think the inclusion of this wonder greatly increases the chances of Kilwa Sultanate being included in the game.

Interesting, does this indicate some sort of Kilwa/Oman civ likely? Some sort of Swahili blob Civ? Who else could this point towards?

So if you build this and Apadana you get LOTS of envoys at once.

The Swahili are possible. Despite the lack of information on their greatest rulers' reigns. No possible female leaders for them though.
I hope they aren't the only African Civ in this expansion, if they are in. I'm still waiting for Mali, and Ethiopia.

I think this wonder seriously reduces the odds for those two Civs because they should have their own wonders strongly associated with them. The Great Mosque of Djenne and Lalibela come to mind.

If my quick search is accurate, looks like @marius_kaparius gets kudos for being first to suggest this as the mystery building (back in November).

Could it be the Palace of Husuni Kubwa at Kilwa?

One of the google image search results looks like it.

But please correct me if someone else deserves credit.

The wonder itself is amazing, and the reveal was worth the wait since we literally covered North Africa, Eastern Africa, the Middle East and Central Asia in order to find the source of this former mystery wonder.
This looks great, now I just cant wait for the Chateau Frontenac wonder movie!

Well, I guess we’d ruled out pretty much everything else.

Also, there is no rule that says the wonders they add have to be associated with a civilisation... we could be seeing Kilwa but we quite easily could not as well.

Maybe they're getting ready us for a Swahili first look on Tuesday.

And the Church of St. George of Lalibela should be included, not only because it is an Ethiopian wonder, but because it is a very unique and interesting structure.

And thus the mystery is solved.

Time for a new mystery!

...

Is that really rice in the background? It looks so... long. And wild.

 

[ferretbacon]

I'm pleased they did this wonder first. That building was driving me NUTS.

Yeah I don't know why people assume that.

That's very true. Not every Civilization in Civ6 will get a wonder. And not every Civilization represented by a Wonder in-game will appear.
