Garden eden will be found in china
Apparently, the belief entails that the "spirit" of the dead will guard the site.

Actually, it is a belief shared by other peoples… Creepy stuff…

Odyssey, you sound rather bored , go for a swim in the Tarim Basin ….
China, 3500 years old, Egypt 5300 years old.
Damn newcomers with their upstart opinion of how 'special' they are.
OSE thank you
History is so cool, and good entertainment
Amazing documentary
中国是唯一拥有两条河的文明，其实黄河文明当时和长江文明是很不对付的，黄河文明是非常看不起我们长江这边的人，楚国当时可一度是最强的国家，但是中原各国还是从心眼里看不起他觉得楚国人是蛮夷这点跟今天的俄罗斯有点像😂，楚国再强但是楚王在周朝里他依然只是个子爵。后来秦始皇统一中国没多久秦国灭亡又建立了汉朝，我们不管是中原的华夏人还是东夷西戎南蛮北狄全部都成了汉人，谁也不能歧视谁一直到现在
You can’t see the wall from the moon 🫠
But like I want an Asian person the narrate the story not some pale British man telling us into Chinas birth.
Guess I have the wrong video.
But let’s be real how do you know if he was such a tyrant who knows this for real even his pitches look cartoony you don’t know what he really look like and you really have no idea what kind of man he truly was. I really believe that the first emperor of China
Anyone know how old the footage in this video is? Looks pretty vintage.
The belief of buried people under a construction made it stronger is not at all exclusive of the Great Wall, it happened all across the World in many different cultures, you can find it in Teotihuacan, in Mexico, you find it in the Iberian culture in Spain, you find it everywhere. Most of the time, people was sacrificed in order to bury them under the walls.
A video in 2023 using outdated video montages to prop up the Chinese Silk Road propaganda. Sea routes carried 100X the trade than any land route you know why? Because there were way easier to travel on and could carry much more load on boats.
I love learning about all ancient peoples. Mesopotamia, Egypt, India and China are the oldest civilizations, in that order. But equally fascinating are ancient Europe, the Levant, Middle East and the Americas. I am so grateful for archaeologists, scientists and historians who devote their lives to uncovering the past, and helping us understand what happened. And what would I do without documentary filmmakers?!😊 So thank you.
If you ever visit Beijing, find the oldest Peiking Duck restaurant, get sauced, eat the entire duck (cutlets, soup, organs) – delicious 😋. The one I went to was 400yrs old.
You can’t really find authentic Peiking Duck elsewhere, even in China. Certainly not the faux roasted ducks they have in Chinatowns. It is the most savory meal you can imagine. I ate about 17 duck hearts.
Sadly, the communist rulers and their education system i.

Fun fact: Qin Shi Huang, the first emperor of China, unified the Great Wall—one of history's greatest feats, often featured in ancient history documentaries!
I have always been extremely fascinated by Eastern history. It's so much older and more intriguing than Western history.
THE GREAT ASIAN RACE
😮😮😮😮😮
I found this exact same video on a channel called Real History. Did you produce this video, or did they?
If you know the Chinese, or have lived among them for any length of time, you would understand that although it is amazing by the worlds standards, it is no wonder that they can accomplish a feat of such magnitude. They are an Industrious and determined civilization. The wall is only one of their many amazing achievements.
Great information terrible job editing. Sounds like the old lectures in China 101. Edit out or reduce the lecturers. The current narrator is ok, but add a second one with a bit more animation in their voice. Then resubmit for a better grade.

I pity them they should have held on to their history and teachings they would not be where they are now.

I’m English & love Chinese history it’s fascinating. Great video
What ever leads to now-a-day Chinese mentality has to be written as a "Mankind's Manual of …DON"T DO AT HOME and NOT TO FOLLOW"!
So now we know who to blame for the worst race in history
Many things said in this video are wrong
Black history: ancient Chinese were Africans! Ancient Japanese were Africans! Koreans also Africans!
Potato heads . the end.
Oh, the diversity is quite profound.. dr… lol
"His fleas"… lol
That is not a wall, it is a road, Bridge,
In fact, more and more evidence shows that many descriptions of Qin Shihuang's cruelty are false or exaggerated, and many laws of the Qin Dynasty seem complete and reasonable today. In 2002, archaeological discoveries of over 200,000 words of Qin Dynasty documents revealed many interesting things. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liye_Qin_Slips
