China, the Great wall

For a long time there was no exact answer. After the latest surveys, which took 4 years, 2000 technicians + a total of 15 provinces, autonomous territories + non-governmental cities involved, the most accurate figure so far was called.

 

During the dynasties, the Great Wall of China was demolished, built, rebuilt and extended many times.

The latest construction took place in the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644), length was just over 6,000 KM.

All the solid walls that were built, the total length would exceed 50,000 KM.
