Listen now
Description
In this episode of 'Time Travellers Guide to Ancient History', we teleport to ancient China to explore the Great Wall, a structure that's more than just a wall. We delve into the reasons behind its construction, the challenges faced during its building, and its effectiveness as a defense mechanism. We also pay tribute to the millions of workers who built it and the emperors who envisioned it. Join us as we journey across mountains, deserts, and plains, following the wall's winding path and uncovering the stories etched in every brick and stone. Remember, history is not just about dates and events, it's about stories that inspire, teach, and shape who we are. This podcast was generated with the help of artificial intelligence.
