curiosities and myths of the Chinese wall
- It measures 21,000 kilometers! The Chinese wall measures almost twice the diameter of the Earth and half its circumference. What is spectacular?
- the wall took 2000 years to build and was the work of several dynasties that were doing their bit, and never better said! Construction began around 200 BC and officially ended in 1644 with the overthrow of the Ming dynasty.
- Is it build with human bones? The origin of the myth is that many workers died during it's construction and were sometimes buried right there, in the foundations of the wall.
If many workers died in construction, possibly it would not be a myth
If astronauts were to see the wall of china from space it must be gigantic
