WHY THE GREAT WALL OF CHINA REALLY WAS BUILT
<
One of the world's most perplexing mysteries -- aside
from Mitt Romney's unreleased tax returns -- is WHY
the Great Wall of China was built.
<
Almost everyone assumes that the Great Wall was built
for only one reason: to prevent China from being invaded.
<
Some others, including some Chinese historical scholars,
claim it was constructed to serve as a permanent barrier
between the agricultural Chinese in the south and the Xiong
Nu (the nomadic cattle-raisers) in the north, since they
apparently got along like cats and dogs.
<
Nonsense!
<
Anyone with common sense realizes that, if the Great Wall
had been built to keep an enemy out, it never would've
extended to such a great length -- nearly 4,000 miles --
and continue through so many isolated areas, through
mountain chains and deserts, far from civilization.
<
And, besides, the Great Wall --- about 25 feet high --
couldn't have done an adequate job of protecting the
Chinese from an invasion anyway.
<
This was proven explicitly some eight centuries ago
when the Mongolian hordes of Genghis Khan successfully
scaled the wall at numerous locations and eventually
conquered most of China.
<
The real reason The Great Wall of China was originally
constructed had nothing whatsoever to do with
preventing an invasion but, instead, to keep their
people inside China and keep outsiders from coming in
<
China's leaders adamantly opposed the prospect of
the mingling of their race with those in neighboring
countries.
<
 Consequently, they ordered the start of the mind-boggling,
gargantuan task of building the wall to make such intermingling
with "outsiders" virtually impossible on a large scale.
<
They were concerned about the possible  "contamination''
of their race by enabling their people to meet -- and mate --
with non-Chinese.
<
Many scientific textbooks claim that construction of the original
section of The Great Wall began around 400 B.C. but various
scientists, especially the Chinese, seriously question this dating and
believe it had begun much earlier.
<
The original Great Wall was some 2,000 miles long and,
at a later time, construction began on another 2,000 miles
or so, through the mountains and deserts.
<
The desire was simply to keep the Chinese race pure
and it certainly must've done its job for the longest time.
