The first emperor of China, Qin Shi Huang, ordered these earlier long wall sections linked and extended with watchtowers to protect the new empire from marauding northern tribes. “The vastness of the structure helps children grasp the great achievements in human history-from the Great Wall to the great pyramids-and can help inspire them to learn more about human achievements over the millennia.”Ĭonstructed over a period of 2,000 years, the stone sentry actually consists of many great walls, some dating back to the fifth century B.C. " The Great Wall impresses everyone who sees it for the first time, from children to adults, from the general tourists to scholars,” says Henry Ng, the manager of the World Monuments Fund’s China projects.
