RANDOM TIDBITS
In 1987, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and
Cultural Organization (UNESCO) placed the Great Wall of
China on its list of the world?s great national and
historical sites.
***
During its construction, the Great Wall was called ?the
longest cemetery on earth? because so many people died
building it. Reportedly, it cost the lives of more than
one million people.
***
The most visited section of the Great Wall is in Badaling,
close to Beijing, which was built during the Ming Dynasty.
It was the first section of the wall to open to tourists in
1957, and was the finish site of a cycling course in the
2008 Summer Olympics.

???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
The earliest extensive walls were built by Qin Shi Huang
(260-210 B.C.) of the Qin dynasty, who first unified China
and is most famous for the standing terra cotta army left
to guard his tomb. It is from the Qin (pronounced ?chin?)
dynasty which the modern word ?China? is derived. Little
of those earliest walls remain.
***
It is common to hear that the mortar used to bind the stones
was made from human bones or that men are buried within the
Great Wall to make it stronger. However, the mortar was
actually made from rice flour?and no bones, human or
otherwise, have ever been found in any of the Great Wall's
walls.
***
President Nixon?s visit to China in 1972 increased tourism
to the Great Wall. With increased tourism, sections of the
Wall were restored, and after Mao Zedong?s death, the
Chinese government recognized the Wall as a unifying symbol
of the nation.
