Description:
Winding roughly 6,700 kilometers through undulating mountains, grasslands, and desert, its vastness seems beyond the realm of human possibility. A wonder of the ancient world, the Great Wall of China is one of mankind's most massive building achievements. Yet contrary to popular belief, there is no single wall of China, but rather a series of walls built for different reasons at different times. MODERN MARVELS® embarks on a journey of discovery, investigating the mysterious history surrounding this cultural marvel. Historians and modern engineers discuss the planning, construction, and function of various segments while extensive location footage illuminates the stunning majesty of its architecture. Legend claims that the wall is a wellspring of warfare, madness, and death--can this be true? From ancient China onwards, THE HISTORY CHANNEL® explores the incredible history of THE GREAT WALL OF CHINA. DVD Features: Interactive Menus; Scene Selection

My husband and I viewed this video with our grandson. He was interested in the content which was both informative and entertaining. The historical facts about the wall were enhanced with information about the culture of the Chinese over the span of years when the wall was built.

This DVD revealed what the Great Wall of China was all about. Why it was built and who used it. Because I had never seen the Great Wall, I had some misconceptions about it, as many others do. Get the true story in an intresting way. Great pictures too.

(The original rebuilder was also responsible for the terra cotta army recently found buried near where he supposedly is buried.) ... Read More

This is just great to watch and the only thing more amazing is the man's tomb who built it. This can be seen from space. What an awesome accomplishment, Truly a wonder of the world. Don't forget to also buy Engineering Empires:China which also covers an entire history of China. This is an awesome country with a great history.
