What engineering marvel took over nearly two thousand years to complete, and is considered one of the New 7 Wonders of the World? It is the Great Wall of China. Today, in this education video, we are going to learn more about the Great Wall.
Let’s take a trip back to China in the third century BCE, to the kingdom of an innovative emperor, Qin Shi Huang.
Emperor Huang saw a need to protect his people from northern invaders, as well as to protect important trades routes. Before the Great Wall, there were numerous smaller fortifications and walls that had been built over the centuries, but there were many gaps. With that in mind, Emperor Huang wanted to close these gaps, creating a unified wall along the Chinese border.
