The Great Wall China's most recognizable monument, but is there more than one
Great Wall Here are the fact
Forst, the Qin (pronounced "Chin") Dynasty built a wall along China northern border
more than 3,000 years ago. This wall was made from dry dirt, wooden frames and
stone. It was called "chang chang" or "long wall during that time. However, the wall
was not durable and few traces of it are left today
Second, the Ming Dynasty built another wall along a different northern border in the
14001. Its purpose was to keep enemy tribes from the north out of China. The wall
was first built with dirt, wood, and stone but later replaced with a sturdier stone
structure
Third, the Qing Dynasty took over construction of the Ming Dynasty wall in 1644
They built watchtowers at regular intervals along the wall
It is clear that the Ming Dynasty wall is what tounats see when they at the Great
Wall of China. But while many people think the walls thousands of years old
actually only several hundred years old. And while legend says it wretches across all
of China, the wall is really only about 1.500 miles long. There are many other similar
walls, but the ones built by the Ming, and Qing dynasties are the most well
known
Last but not least, astronauts proved that the long believed myth that the Great Wall
could be seen from space is sadly, not true. The only outer space evidence of the
Great Wall was taken by a satelite image
