HI THERE! Hahah, my name is Qi Po Qin. I wanna tell you a story about the great wall. Way back, before I was born, around 200 bc, Si Huangdi started building the great wall. He connected already existing walls into one giant one. He was awful to the people that worked on it. Did I mention its hand made? Oh, well, it is. Mainly the boys and men were sent to work on it. The ones that got sick usually died. Since there was no place to burry them, they were usually buried in the wall. There were tons of people that died in the making of that wall. It was built over all different landscapes. Some were dry and desert like while others flourish in greens. Parts of it are built upon the flat land while some parts are all over the sides and tops of mountains. Due to the immense heat and extreme cold, it was mainly built in the spring and fall. The Ming dynasty was the high point of building time. Each dynasty continued to build it, but in the middle of the chin dynasty, the work stopped. Its being renovated today and its 4500 miles long with 24 towers in it. You can see it from outerspace now and its part of the 7 wonders of the world. It was built not only to keep us safe, but to make sure that we knew our boundaries and didnt leave.
