Videos like this remind me of the early 2000s when the discovery channel and the history channel where actually educational and not filled with fake realty show's.

I have been to china and the great wall and can honestly say everything about it is just incredible!!! Videos and pictures cant do the justice you should all really get to see it once in your life trust me 😊
-
One million men working on 13000 miles of wall at such impossible heights. This is mind boggling. Truly remarkable achievement for that time 👏👏
-
I imagine columns of thousands of people that looked like ants. Imagine just the logistics of supplying food, water, wood and materials to all the workers.
-
This is really interesting! I could watch topics like this all day!
-
The fact that these structures cannot be built now ,they were made uniquely and look absolutely insane 😍
-
I've been to 6 sections of the Great Wall already and I hope to be able to explore more of it.
-
Stopping penetration of the wall wasn't the main purpose, it was meant to hold up and cause delay just so thar reinforcements could be sent. Every wall can be penetrated, when being attacked the watchtowers would signal for reinforcements from the other watchtowers.

(0:06) 13,000 Miles of Wall Dude, my mind was so blown by that stat that the rest of this video just went in-one-ear-and-out-the-other.
-
I am watching this on my way to the great wall as part of pre-visit information gathering process
-
Absolutely astonishing to watch discovery like this, just amazing...
-
Can you imagine a ancient battle there. Thousands of bows shooting off that wall had to be nuts. I can only picture a helms deep type of battle there lol
-
I want this sort of informative contents should be back on Discovery.
-
Scientific description: super tough bricks 😂
-
My answer is China if we have a time machine and to be at this era when this mighty wall was constructed. It truly truly earns the spot to be the Wonder of the World.
-
This definitely deserves its spot as a world wonder, such a significant formation. Also, we need more of such informative content videos like back in the day.

0:33 like some three-year old looked at the map and decided to draw a few lines here and there. "look daddy, I drew a bird"
