Wait wait… I know nothing about the GWoC. Are they wrong about the direction the defenses facing, and the side the stairs are on? Of they aren’t, why is this “insane Facebook?”

I’m totally ignorant about the Wall, or about the famous sections of it.

Part of the problem is that the pictures they’re showing were of part of the wall that was built in the middle ages during the Ming Dynasty, but other parts of the wall were nearly 1000 years old when that part was being built.

That’s actually true, although there is no THE Great Wall of China. There are a lot of walls which are loosely connected. The famous stone part was built in the middle ages, but some of it stretches all the way back to the Qin dynasty in the 200s BCE and that was made of pounded earth.

Sure, but as you can see on that map, we’re not talking about one continuous straight line. And more walls get discovered all the time.
