heyy... great site with good information..
here's some additional information and some facts::
Located 10 kilometers south of the Badaling section of the Great Wall and built in an 18.5-kilometre-long valley, the pass has always been an important gateway northwest of Beijing. The name is believed to have its origin in the workers and slaves conscripted to build the Great Wall in ancient times. Cloud Terrace, built in 1345, was originally the base of a pagoda over looking the main road of the town of the pass. The arched gate of the terrace and the walls inside the arch are decorated with carvings. of elephants, lions, birds, flowers and heavenly kings as well as charms in six languages-Sanskrit, Tibetan, Phats pa (Mongolian), Uygur, West Xia and Han.
Alarm was raised by means of smoke signals, at night by fire. Smoke was produced by burning a mixture of wolf dung, sulfur and saltpeter. Shots were fired at the same time. Thus an alarm could be relayed over 500km within just a few hours.
and her'es the facts::
Facts of Great Wall of China:
At its peak the Ming Wall contained thousands of individual forts and towers and was guarded by more than a million men.
Sentries on the wall burned wood and straw mixed with wolf dung to produce thick black columns of smoke. One column meant a force of less than 500 was attacking; four columns indicated an attack by up to 10,000 men
Using satellite data scientists have rediscovered more than 600 miles of buried Wall in the past decade.
According to historical records, the Qin Dynastry section of the Wall, covering 3,000 miles, was built in 10 years, or about 25 miles a month.
If you took all the bricks from the Ming portion of the Wall alone, they could circle the Earth at the equator in a wall five feet high and three feet thick.
The Great Wall is 4,500 miles long--the distance between Miami and the North Pole.
It's long be rumored that dead were buried in wall. Not true. Decomposing bodies would have weakened structure.
The death toll in the building of the first Great Wall was astounding: More than a million people died building this 3,000 mile section more than 300 people per mile.
Three million people--70 percent of China's population at the time--was involved in building the Qin Wall.
The Great Wall's height averages from 15 to 30 feet high it's width averages from 15 to 25 feet wide with about a 13-foot wide roadway on top.
