    • @puchy110
      @puchy110 7 лет назад +19

      Jason Denton there was a wall built by the previous dynasty. The Great Wall isn't just one wall, the current wall is the one built during the Ming Dynasty. The first grand northern border wall started during the Qin, with a string of fortifications. That string would later be turned into an actual long wall during the Han.

    The first Qin emperor basically tied together the already existing walls built by the previously conquered warring states to make one big wall. Although the usefulness of the wall is debatable, since the nomadic tribes accustomed to fast warfare simply went around it.
