The Great Wall of China was first built in the 3rd century B.C.E. for protection. Emperor Qin ordered his men to build it. Very few of what was built then remains today, and there is no historical record of the exact length. The Great Wall was built again during the Ming era (14th century B.C.E.). The Ming failed to gain an upper hand over the Mongolian tribes. Unlike the original wall, the Ming wall was stronger because they used bricks and stones instead if destroyed Earth. The wall we see today is 5,500 miles long form Hushan Great Wall and Jiayuhuan Pass.=====
