The Qin Dynasty may have not started the wall but they connected existing walls created by other dynasties making one big 5500 mile long wall. The wall was used to keep unwanted enemies and nomads out from the north. The wall was completed in one year it took 300,000 people and 500,000 peasants. The wall stretched over many different landscapes like the chinese countryside, rivers, streams, mountains, and deserts. Building the wall was a very harsh process most materials were transported on the backs of people or on carrying poles. The materials were passed hand by hand up to the builders on the wall. Many people died during the building of the wall. This shows our dynasty is strong and are hard workers, they could build massive structures without power tools and construction machines they did it all with simple hand tools and their own strength.
