Wasn’t that documentary amazing? The Great Wall of China is so fascinating. I can’t believe it’s over 13,000 miles long!

Yeah, it’s mind-blowing! I always thought it was just one continuous wall, but it turns out it’s made up of different sections built at different times.

Yeah, the Ming Dynasty did a lot of the construction we recognize today. They used bricks and stones to make the wall stronger compared to the earlier sections, which were made of tamped earth.

Exactly. Some parts are thousands of years old, while others were built during the Ming Dynasty. I think that was around the 14th century, right?
