Great Wall of China

Great Wall of China was built mainly to protect the Chinese Empire from the Mongolians and other invaders. It was first built in the Seventh Century BC when China was still divided into many small states. The construction of the Great Wall never ceased during nearly all the Chinese fudal dynasties.




The history of the Great Wall is said to start from the Spring and Autumn Periods when seven powerful states appeared at the same time. In order to defend themselves, they all built walls and stationed troops on the borders. At that time, the total length of the wall had already reached 3,107 miles, belonging to different states.

In 221 BC, the Emperor Qin absorbed the other six states and set up the first unified kingdom in Chinese history. In order to strengthen his newly born authority and defend the Huns in the north, he ordered connecting the walls once built by the other states as well as adding some sections of his own. Thus was formed the long Qin's Great Wall which started from the east of today's Liaoning Province and ended at Lintao, Gansu Province.

They were Edomites who found the gorge ("Wadi as-Sik") carved through this plain to be a welcome sanctuary from enemies and the elements. This sheltering valley is the Wadi Musa, or Valley of Moses. The legend goes that Moses struck a rock with his staff and water poured out, eventually carving out the valley. The ruins we see today were built inside this gorge by the Nabataeans: an enigmatic people who left their mark on this region, but are of an uncertain origin. Their language indicates an Arabian heritage. Some suspect they are from modern-day Yemen. But their written script is very different. Another theory puts them in Bahrain or Saudi Arabia
