Summary

Enjoy this sneak peak into an extra episode that gets released for my patrons every week. If you want more content then make sure to check out my patreon and youtube! In c. 220 B.C., under Qin Shi Huang, sections of earlier fortifications were joined together to form a united defence system against invasions from the north. Construction continued up to the Ming dynasty (1368–1644), when the Great Wall became the world's largest military structure. Its historic and strategic importance is matched only by its architectural significance. Bonus episodes as well as ad-free episodes on Patreon. Find us on Instagram. Join us on Discord.
