Great Wall Discovered in Shanxi Province
|
????An identified
Great Wall has been discovered on a mountain slope called the
Great Wall Peak in Shenbei village, Huguan county, Shanxi Province.
????The Great Wall, five to six meters wide,
was built with black stones of all sizes. It extends in the shape
of a belt, and undulates continuously on the mountain slope over
a distance of dozens of kilometers.
????Some local residents believe that the Great
Wall was built in the Shang Dynasty (BC1600-BC1100). Some say
it was built up in the Song Dynasty (960-1279). Now it remains
unknown when and why this Great Wall was built.
