The Great Wall Of China

Introduction

The Great Wall of China is 3915 miles. The wall is 8 meters tall. 400,000 people died while they were making the Great Wall. The wall is the largest manmade structure in the world. The wall is made of wood, stone, dirt and sand and rocks. The Great Wall of China is one of the most visited places in the world.

How The Great wall helped with war

The Great Wall of China helped protect China from attackers. Chinese people could pour hot oil and/or shoot arrows on the invaders and they could not past the Great Wall of China. People in China were safer because of The Great Wall, so the population grew bigger. China had more archers in the towers and on the wall in war time.

Artifacts of the great wall

The great wall has people inside it. The great wall took about 15 years to make. It was made in B.C. times (before Crist). Qin shi huangdi was the emperor at that time.

Great wall from space

The Great Wall of China is visual from space. A Chinese astronaut said he could not see it. After China sent more astronauts to look they also sent a telescope to see The Great Wall of China. They said they could see it with the telescope and normal eyesight. If you are on the moon you can’t see it with a telescope.

The Emperor

Qin Shi Huangdi was a very smart emperor. He has done something nobody has done at this time. He has built the Great Wall of China for being defended. From other Enemies.

Purpose Of The Great Wall

There were watchtowers on the great wall usually to store swords but rarely to store archery some people put a fire on the watchtower to tell everyone DANGER! These were called beacon fire towers there were cannons hiding behind trees. Long ago there were guards called terra cotta warriors who defended the wall.
