Description

The first sections of the Great Wall weren’t brick—they were packed earth. Early builders layered soil, gravel, reeds, and tamped it down between wooden frames to create rammed-earth fortifications. Simple materials. Brutal labor. Surprisingly durable results. #GreatWall #China #History #Engineering #Ancient
