I just cant imagine how the workers had to climb the mountain and brought all the bricks up there to built the great wall...how the warriors had to go up there real fast when enemies came to attack...just unimaginable....salut to the ancient chinese
@jyashin4 жыл бұрын
?? That's not how the Great Wall works. The Great Wall is essentially an e-mail service from 200 BC. There are only a few locations that an invasion could access Northern China. If an invasion was detected, the nearest pyre would be lit. Then, the soldier at the 2nd pyre would light his pyre, letting the soldier at the 3rd pyre light his pyre, then the 4th, etc. This system of pyres being lit would very quickly travel to the capital in Western China, allowing the central government to mobilize forces weeks earlier than possible.
@alvintheng85014 жыл бұрын
jyashin I can said what jyashin describe is absolutely correct! And in additional, the tower is the barricade for the watchmen tower. After the pyre is lit, the soldier will barricade themselves, basically fending themselves till reinforcement arrive from the nearest responsed barrack. You can see from the video, when Claire enter the tower from the stair, from outer portion of the tower, she need to bend down to enter, and the entry only allow single soldier/person at a time. The tactic was simple, enemy spotted, if they attempt to breach, soldier barricade themselves, fight off them from the high section of the wall, if wall breach, attempt to retreat to higher section of the wall, fight again, if breach, retreat to tower, barrride, and defend, slaughter whoever came through the entry. The soldier will have supply stored in the tower which normally will last them for months, till help arrive. Like Attila, Alan or goths, the northern invader are compromise of marauding horde, they attack, pillage, enslave, rob whatever they can, then they will ride back across the gobi dessert. The walls function are to stop these incursion.

Thanks Claire for a wonderful video. I am 66 years old and have been to China once, passing through on my way back from the Philippines. I have always wanted to visit the Great Wall for several reasons. It represents China in a time when they probably were the Superior Nation on the entire planet. While they dined on dainties prepared throughout an organized empire, unwashed Europeans ate with their hands. Julius Caesar enjoyed wearing a crimson silk tunic, and many of the garments of later Popes were filled with silk. China represents Intellect, culture, power, harmony, and fear of change. Today people still marvel at the wall built on the backs of countless peasants, soldiers, and prisoners who had no real appreciation for it. They only endured the daily grind. And the last word is the best. The Chinese have endured the unfolding of hundreds of centuries with great patience. I don't think them war like, as much as I think of them minding their principalities. They are most huge in population, but so peaceful in person. I suppose rather than fear them, we should study them and understand mankind over time in a single place always being. The views are superb and I really enjoyed the video. I hope many things wonderful come for you and your life friend. Peace and love, and being a Christian... peace and love in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ!!

My family and I had the pleasure to visiting China about ten years ago and one of our most unique ventures while there was going to the Great Wall of China and walk some of the passage ways. Your video brought back many memories about how much of the wall has broken down into pieces making not an easy hike through some of the area. Even then it was amazing to see and realize that here we were walking along some of the passage ways on the Great Wall of China. To see in person is so amazing that there no way any photos or videos can show all there is to see. To even try and conceive how it was even possible to build something as this. To see the wall going through the mountain ways up and down the hills and at times some appearing to be going into the clouds way up high as if it was a passage way into Heaven. It really is one of the most unique wonders of the world! Thanks for sharing your video.

We had a large portion of the path with only a width of two bricks to set foot on. You have bushes on one side and the cliff on the other. I also remember a point you have to hold an iron bar to swing your body over the cliff. We completely stopped talking in the last few hours as a result of fatigue, fear, and stress. We run out of water and food, but we finally made it to the Mutianyu.

I thought I was going to die that day and wondered if the Red Cross could airlift me out of there. It is a beast and the fact that you did it shows alot about your character. Experiencing Jiankou is something out of this world. Absolutely breathtaking as well as dangerous. Videos still fail to capture the terror those steep walls instill in you. Definately not a hike for the fainthearted that's for sure! Well done!

This is so beautiful! I admire your courage to climb such a vertical wall and you get the most beautiful scenery of the great wall~

I recently learned an interesting fact about the great wall - back then there was no concrete, so they used a sticky rice mixture paste to cement and hold the bricks together.

Such a picturesque scene at 13:10 that alone would make hours and hours of hiking worthwhile I could see myself just sitting there, gazing out into the sea of fog in awe while I soak in the truly breathtaking sight

I really like the way you speak!! And what an adventure that was walking on the steep stone steps😐. Thank you for the post.

Thank you for making this video. No matter how difficult it was climbing the steps, it would still be much easier than scaling the steep hills that an invading force had to do (with armour and no height advantage, too). A small climb like this and your personal doco style certainly gives an appreciation of the grandeur and ambition of this engineering feat. Alas, a chain is only as strong as its weakest link....

without a local guide, these wild great walls could get people killed, all it takes is a loose brick from two thousand years ago.

Exactly. And most of chance you would die from a brick made in Ming Dynasty, about 500 years ago.

the current great wall was around couple of hundreds years old (Ming Dynasty). Still it is very dangerous.

I just went to the Badaling wall. While I enjoyed and loved it very much, this makes me super jealous! THIS is the Great Wall I really want to explore. Well next time, I'll be visiting this when I have much more time.

@@marcbachelet2322 Unfortunately, the Great Wall failed to stop the invasion of Nomads from the North. Proven by the Chinese history, the military meanings of the Great Wall is actually meaningless. However, the spirit of unity and cooperation of building the wall encouraged multiple generations of Chinese to unite and make China great again!

@@PlutoidBruno nope the great wall fail because of the Chinese them self not the wall cause some Chinese during that time rebel and open the gates for the enemy . There was a saying by Genghis khan "the wall is only as strong as the people behind it".
