================================
<
One of the world's most perplexing mysteries
is WHY the Great Wall of China was built.
<
Almost everyone believes the Great Wall was built for
only one reason: to prevent China from being invaded.
<
Some others, including some Chinese historical scholars,
claim it was built to serve as a permanent barrier between
the agricultural Chinese in the south and the Xiong Nu
(the nomadic cattle-raisers) in the north, since they
pparently got along like cats and dogs.
<
Nonsense!
<
Anyone with a semblance of common sense realizes
that, if the Great Wall had been constructed to keep
an enemy out, it never would've have been extended
to such a great length -- nearly 4,000 miles -- and
continue through so many isolated areas, through
mountain chains and deserts, far from civilization.
<
And, besides, the Great Wall --- about 25 feet high --
ouldn't have done an adequate job of protecting the
Chinese from an invasion anyway.
<
This was proven explicitly eight centuries ago when
the Mongolian hordes of Genghis Khan successfully
scaled the wall at numerous locations and eventually
conquered most of China.
<
============================
<
The real reason The Great Wall of China was originally
constructed had nothing whatsoever to do with
Preventing an invasion but, instead, to keep their
people inside China and keep outsiders from coming in
<
China's leaders adamantly opposed the prospect of
the mingling of their race with those in neighboring
countries - that they ordered the start of the mind-boggling,
gargantuan undertaking to make such intermingling
virtually impossible on a large scale.
<
They were concerned about the possible "contamination''
of their race by mingling -- and mating -- with non-Chinese.
<
Many scientific textbooks claim that construction of the original
section of The Great Wall began around 400 B.C. but various
scientists, especially the Chinese, seriously question this
dating and believe it had begun much earlier.
<
Indeed, it did.
<
The original Great Wall was some 2,000 miles long and,
t a later time, construction began on another 2,000 miles
or so, through the mountains and deserts.
<
The desire was simply to keep the Chinese race pure
and it happened again in the 1930s in Germany under
the Third Reich (but utilizing other despicable tactics).
