What We Get Wrong About the Great Wall of China

Most people believe the Great Wall of China was built at once, by a single person. In fact, it was built on earlier, individual foundations, over several centuries.

From: SECRETS: Great Wall of China

Looks more like the Great Wall of Tartaria to keep the Chinese out of the land you never hear about in how that civilization has been wiped from history....or attempted.

Can u please let archaeologists explore the caves in the Grand Canyon and release all the artefacts

Why not just ask Matt Damon, he once fought and defended the wall against monsters.

😂😂😂 the design is not china...😂😢😂they said tartaria built it coz the place where you can put depensive wepon is agains china, s land.who built a wall that you can put weapon in your own country?

[billmusk]

I don't believe it's China's. Look at the roof design.

The ribs are on the wrong side, aren't they? (now being rebuild to the other side)

[peterabcde]

Wrong. William Lindesay did not walk it's entire length of the Great Wall. Not even the Ming Wall, never mind the other Dynasty's Walls.

Brendan Frasier fought mummy Jet Li because Li built it out of dead enemies and then Matt Damon defended the wall against lizard monsters.

1. Emperor of Qin Dynasty was not the first to build the Great Wall, before him, the warrior states had border with the northern nomads had had built their own shorter walls.
Emperor Qin simply connected those walls, although it was also a hard job.

2. The Great Wall we see today, was built in the 14th to 15th century by the 3rd emperor of Ming Dynasty.

Wouldn’t the mongols have invaded and stopped them from finishing ? If they were specifically making it to protect against mongols?

[larrywolf]

One thing people get wrong about it is that it's worth seeing...

I've seen it and most of it? It's in utter ruins and disrepair, kept so poorly that it's dangerous to even walk. China only bothers to keep the portions that are tourism hotspots looking nice. 90+% of it is falling apart.

Props to the camera man filming all that

[Alexjamesfreirik]

That would be awesome if they still used the Great Wall

[neno]

i want to build a great china wall around my big propherty agro empire so that the people from the outside wont walk or look at my inside kingdom

[robhappe]

It was built to keep the Chinese in and not to keep the enemy hordes out.

[kidlien]

That's great wall of tartaria not china.

[neno]

1:21 this is a wall made from mud and grass, but the wall couple of seconds later looks like its built with bricks, is it the same wall?

[mashlee]

William Lindesay did not walk the entire length in 1987.
