History[]
“ | The Great Wall was constructed over nearly 2,000 years, with significant construction beginning in the 7th century BCE under the state of Chu. Over the following centuries, neighboring states adopted similar efforts. Built to protect China from northern invaders, the wall extends across northern China and southern Mongolia. The best-preserved section of the wall, built during the Ming Dynasty (1368–1644 CE), spans over 5,000 miles (8,000 km). In total, the wall stretches more than 13,000 miles (21,000 km). It was named a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1987. |

History[]
“ | The Great Wall of China originally began as a series of separate fortifications that were later joined and further improved. Their main purpose was to protect the states of China against nomadic raids and invasions from the Eurasian Steppe. As the walls were made of various materials including stone, brick, wood, and earth, and had to withstand both the test of time and numerous hostilities, the Great Wall had to continue to be rebuilt and enhanced for centuries. | ” |
