Both the Great Wall and the Pyramid are one of the Seven Wonders of the World, but the history of the Pyramid is much longer than the Great Wall, at least 2,000 years earlier, so they are different in terms of time. Fortunately, the projects of the two world wonders have been preserved intact, and many ancient world wonders no longer exist, so they are the best of these miracles.
Let’s talk about the Great Wall first. China first built the Great Wall in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. At that time, the vassal states built it themselves. There were Qi Great Wall, Chu Great Wall, Zhao Great Wall, Qin Great Wall, etc. At this time, the length of the construction of each country was relatively short. , After Qin Shihuang unified the six countries, he connected these Great Walls together, and continued to build new Great Walls, which were tens of thousands of miles long, so it was called the Great Wall.
The Great Wall of the Qin and Han Dynasties exceeded 10,000 kilometers, and the total length of the Great Walls of all countries in the past dynasties exceeded 21,000 kilometers, connecting 15 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government. According to records, when Qin Shihuang built the Great Wall, nearly , accounting for one-twentieth of the country's population at that time. There were no machines when building the Great Wall, and all labor was done by manpower. Some steep places, the same It is done by manpower.
At that time, when the construction was all by hand and the building materials were moved manually, the Great Wall was built lower in places with steep mountains and higher in flat places. The Ming Dynasty was the last dynasty to overhaul the Great Wall. Most of the Great Wall you see today was built during the Ming Dynasty. The total length of the Ming Great Wall is 8,851 kilometers. The Great Wall has become the longest military defense facility in the world, and it can be called the greatest in human history. project.
The pyramid is the greatest ancient project in Egypt. There are three pyramids outside Cairo, the capital of Egypt. The tallest one is the Pyramid of Khufu, which is more than 140 meters high. It was built around 2690 BC. It took 100,000 people 30 years to build it. . The ancient Egyptians transported the boulder to the construction site with the help of animal power and rolling logs, and then pulled the boulder up the pyramid along the slope, gradually increasing the height of the pyramid. The pyramid is the crystallization of the wisdom of the ancient Egyptian people.
The body of the pyramid is made of 2.3 million stones. Each stone weighs an average of 2.5 tons, and the largest one weighs 100 tons. No knife can go in. Such a huge pyramid was built more than 4,000 years ago with the manpower and material resources at that time, and the construction process was unimaginable. Therefore, some people say that the pyramid was made by aliens, which has always been an unsolved mystery.
The two world projects are products of different times. The pyramids are more than 2,000 years earlier than the Great Wall. Technically speaking, the Egyptian pyramids should be a little more difficult than the Great Wall, and the construction is obviously more complicated. Stones weighing dozens of tons are piled up layer by layer. In the mechanical age, it was too difficult. The Great Wall was continuously built over several dynasties, spanning thousands of years, and it was officially completed in the Ming Dynasty, which required more manpower and material resources, and the amount of work was much larger than that of the pyramids.
In this way, which one is more difficult to build, needless to say, you have an idea yourself, which one do you think is the wonder of the world?
