The Great Wall was built to prevent invaison from the Huns (the major attaker.) The wall was built twentyfive feet tall because most people attacked on horse. Who worked on the wall? Smaller and weaker dynasties worked on the wall. They worken on the wall in spring and autumn. When people worked on the wall they died, so the Great Wall has many dead bodies. How was the Great Wall of China made? The Wall was made out earth products. http://doc.mo.gov/mve/images/chemical/Good%20Earth%20Logo.jpg When the Wall was just starting to get built dirt and other raw material was used. http://dirtthemovie.org/page/-/about_proclamation/all_about_digby.jpg Workers pressed soil, leaves, hay, and mud into a wall. When earth materials were used lots of workers were not needed. FunFacts!! The Great Wall of China is the longest man-made thing in the world. The Great wall is often compared to a dragon.
