The Construction of the Great Wall of China under Qin Shi Huang
Script
Did you know that the Great Wall of China was originally built to keep out the Mongols, but it ended up being a massive labor project that cost thousands of lives? When Qin Shi Huang became the first emperor of China in 221 BC, he ordered the construction of the wall to protect his empire from invaders. It's said that thousands of workers died during its construction, with some estimates suggesting that up to 400,000 laborers lost their lives. Talk about a wall of sacrifice! And, fun fact, the wall was built using local materials, including stones, dirt, and even sticky rice.
