Brief

 It is by far mankind's most extensive construction endeavor. In its heyday in the 16th and 17th centuries, it snaked 6400 kilometers or 4000 miles across northern China 

Year_Constructed

 7 B.C 

Description

 It zig-zags up and down steep ridges and is punctuated with imposing watchtowers, making the Great Wall of China one of the most photogenic man-made structures on earth. 

Description_2

 No one ever said, "Let's build the Great Wall of China". There was never a master plan. Initially, powerful regional kingdoms built sections solely for their own defensive military needs.
