The Great Wall of China

• The Great Wall of China is one of the wonders of the world.
• The Great Wall is not a single wall but a series of walls built and rebuilt by different Chinese dynasties over a thousand years.
• The Great Wall stretches to about 6560 km from east to west of China.
• It is the largest man-made structure on Earth.
• The construction of the Great Wall was started by the first emperor of China, Qin Shi Huangdi over 2000 years ago.
• Shi Huangdi decided to construct a great wall by unifying all the independent walls built in ancient times to protect China from the raids of the northern nomadic tribes.
• The Great Wall became the world's greatest military structure during the Ming dynasty.
• The Great Wall was built of stone, wood, grass and earth. The Mings used advanced brick-building technology and had state-of-the-art kilns to mass-produce bricks, which were as strong as modern-day masonry blocks.
