History / China

Great Wall of China. Picture from http://www.great-wall-of-china.org/
    Today I learned about the Great Wall of China. It took about 2,000 years to build and cost 1,000,000 peoples  lives. The wall was originally built in smaller parts by the 7 states of China, although Chin combined all the 7 states together and named it "China" after his home town. Also I learned that if workers were buried into the wall. Prisoners and people who were considered to be against China were forced to build to the wall.
