The wall was built between 220 BC and 200 BC by the first Emperor of China, Qin Shi Huang. slaves, soldiers bascially anyone available was forced to construct this great wall
Before the use of bricks, the Great Wall was mainly built from earth, stones, and wood.
During the Ming Dynasty, however, bricks were heavily used in many areas of the wall, as were materials such as tiles, lime, and stone. The size and weight of the bricks made them easier to work with than earth and stone, so construction quickened. Additionally, bricks could bear more weight and endure better than rammed earth. Stone can hold under its own weight better than brick, but is more difficult to use. Consequently, stones cut in rectangular shapes were used for the foundation, inner and outer brims, and gateways of the wall. Battlements line the uppermost portion of the vast majority of the wall, with defensive gaps a little over 30 cm (a foot) tall, and about 23 cm (9 inches) wide.

many human beings tend to have faith that Qin Shi Huang (the emperor who united the Warring states and unified chinese language characters) built the super Wall of China. it fairly is not actual. parts of partitions have been built till now his time. He built some and joined them jointly. extra partitions have been built and joined after him. The wall grew to become into in actuality built to guard the indoors land from the "barbarians" (mongolian nomads). 1000's of persons died for the period of those initiatives. Generations of families have been committed to the initiatives. They have been born, raised and died on the area. there grew to become right into a legend that a guy died on a similar time as engaged on the area. The spouse grew to become into so unhappy and cried on the wall the place the husband grew to become into meant buried in. The wall crumbled and fell. It grew to become right into a romantic tale yet could desire to not be validated if it grew to become into actual.

The soliders from the Quan Dynasty. It was built to prevent invasion from the foreigners. They built it brick by brick. It took a long time but they did it.

Just goes to show that builders the world over cannot take instruction, we could have had a tea party if it was made from china. We could have invited Panda's instead of the PG Chimps. Lo xxx
