It is hard to imagine that this project was once designed just to hold back the barbarian invaders from the North in the 6^th century BC.

Many died during the construction of the actual Great Wall under the rule of the Han Dynasty (206 BC – 22 AD), the Sui Dynasty (581 – 618 AD) and the Tang Dynasty (618 – 906 AD) and was still losing ground to the Manchurian and Mongolian tribes.

The Great Wall as it stands now is largely work the Ming Dynasty in the 15^th century AD.

When in 1644 a Chianese General opened the gates for the enemy to seize Beijing, the last of the Chinese Imperial Dynasty was found: The Qing until 1911.
