  • Great Wall of China 2: Decades where Centuries Happen
    Jun 16 2021

    Welcome to the second episode in our series on The Great Wall of China. After introducing you to China's first dynasties we will now introduce the Qin. The Qin did not rule for a long time but they were responsible for the creation of some of the most iconic symbols of China. It was the Qin who took the series of walls made by different states and unified them into one great wall. But, this came at a great cost to the people of China, many of whom paid with their lives.
