The Great Wall of China turned out to be a fake. Who actually built the China Wall? Scientists have discovered something new about the Chinese wall

The Chinese Wall is a world famous monument. open it with new side, without depriving of mysteries and attractiveness for researchers and lovers of history.

1. The construction of the Great Wall of China began in the reign of Emperor Shi Huang about two thousand years ago. It was not built all at once. Construction continued by the Han and Sui dynasties, and most of it was built thanks to the Ming rulers in the 17th century.
2. Chinese historians claim that the construction of the wall began in the 5th century BC. The warring peoples tried so hard to protect themselves from each other. There is a saying in the Celestial Empire that a Chinese who has not been on the Great Wall cannot be considered a Chinese.
3. Wall length 2500 meters, but if we count branches, hills and turns, then its size will increase to 8850 km, while it is not solid, but consists of segments, since the provinces built separate sections that were supposed to be connected.

4. The wall stretches from the deserts of the northwestern part of the country to the Yellow Sea, where one section of the fortifications even goes into the water. The average width of the structure is 5 meters, the maximum height is 8, the highest mountainous area is 1450 meters above sea level.

5. In the early periods, the wall was an earthen rampart, which was lined with unbaked bricks, and the voids were filled with stones, clay and reeds. It was only during the Ming dynasty that stone slabs were used, but in the western sections in the provinces of Gansu and Shanxi, the embankment remained uncovered.
6. For a long time, even the Chinese themselves were not interested in the preservation of the wall, especially during the unification of the north and south, when the functions of the wall as a defensive structure came to an end. The wall fell into disrepair, it was dismantled to use the stone for other buildings, and by the 1950s, when the drainage of sites for the needs of Agriculture, sand storms came, "wearing away" the stone. The wall is still collapsing - in 2012, in Hebei, a 36-meter-long section was washed away due to heavy rains.
7. About a million people took part in the construction over 17 centuries.. Soldiers, criminals, captives were driven here, and when there were not enough workers, peasants. From hard work, malnutrition, epidemics and lack of clean water people died by the thousands, which is why the Wall of China is also called the longest cemetery in the world. However, the millions of victims described to the construction site of the century are an exaggeration.
8. Why the wall was built is still a mystery.: the version of the defensive structure from the nomads is criticized for the fact that the mountains along which the rampart passes are themselves an obstacle to the cavalry. According to another version, the towers were built earlier and were within sight of the fire, perhaps they were part of a warning system when any danger approached. Garrisons were placed in the towers, provisions and water were stored. The road between the towers was built later for the quick transfer of soldiers, besides, it could serve for the relatively safe movement of merchants.

9. Parts of the wall always had gaps and the Mongols took advantage of them at the beginning of the 13th century, having managed to capture the north of China, and by 1279 - the south. On the territory of modern Mongolia in 2011, another 100-kilometer section of the wall was discovered. But no towers, remains of utensils, garbage were found here - most likely, no one here carried out a permanent service and the site was abandoned over time.

10. In the valleys where the wall passed, fortresses with gates were erected.. There could be two gates - one was erected opposite the other for the length of the arrow flight. The enemy, "capturing" one entrance, found himself in a trap and fell under fire from the defenders of the fortress.

11. Since the end of the 19th century, there has been an opinion that the Great Wall of China is visible from space, even from the moon.. This myth is still in circulation, although none of the astronauts, even from orbital stations, could distinguish this landmark, according to scientists, human vision must be 8 times sharper for the wall to become visible. In satellite photographs, the wall is visible only through optics.

12. The most popular section of the wall - Baladin, passes through Beijing. It has been better preserved than other parts, since it was the "gateway to the capital". It was opened for tourists in 1957, and at the 2008 Olympics, the gate was the finish line for cyclists.
13. Every year in China, the Great Wall running marathon takes place - part of the way, athletes walk along the China Wall.
14. The solution for bonding stones and slabs was prepared not on powder from human bones, but from rice flour and notify. And corpses embedded in the walls, according to scientific research also no. Although there are many legends about workers buried in the wall.
15. For the burial of the dead builders, a ritual was used when a cage with a rooster was placed on the coffin before the funeral.. The bird, according to popular belief, did not allow the soul to leave the body and stay wandering along the wall forever.

The most grandiose wonder of the world - the Great Wall of China, which has a length of almost nine thousand kilometers, is perceived today by us far from being a fortification against enemy raids, but only as a unique ancient monument. For this reason, few people think, but on which side of this wall were those very enemies?

The Chinese Wall was not built by the Chinese

But in 2011, British archaeologists unearthed an unknown part of the Chinese Wall, and came to extreme amazement: its loopholes were directed towards modern China. It turns out that the famous wall was not built by the Chinese, then by whom and from whom?

From the north of Ancient China lived nomadic tribes who could hardly build such a grandiose structure. And in general, scientists considered that even with modern technologies it would take tens of thousands of kilometers to build such a wall railways, involve hundreds of thousands of machines, cranes and other equipment, abandon tens of millions of people and spend at least hundreds of years on all this.

In ancient times, there were no such opportunities, which means that it took more than one thousand years to build a giant wall, in comparison with which even the Egyptian pyramids seem like toys in a sandbox. Why and who needed it, because it is meaningless from both an economic and a military point of view. But someone built this wall, most likely with higher technology than we have today. But who? And for what?

The Chinese wall was built by the Slavs

The medieval geographical atlas of Abraham Ortelius, released back in 1570, helped answer this question. It could be seen that modern China is divided into two parts - southern China and server Catai. It was between them that a wall was laid, which, apparently, was built by the inhabitants of the mysterious Tartaria, which occupies the territory of Siberia and the Far East modern Russia and northern part of modern China.

The ancient vessels found in the northern provinces of China back in the sixties of the last century, but deciphered quite recently, completely shed light on this mystery. Paradoxical as it may seem, they were written in runic - ancient Slavic writing. Yes, and in the ancient treatises of China, it is often said about white people who live in the northern lands and communicate directly with the Gods. These were the ancient Slavs, the descendants of Hyperborea, who lived in Tartaria. It was they who built the Great not Chinese, but the Slavic wall. By the way, on the rune the word "china" means only "high wall".

The truth about the Chinese wall is not needed by the powerful of this world

But against whom was this "high wall" built? It turns out that against the race of the Great Dragon, with which the White race of the Russians, who lived in Tartaria, fought for a long time. This battle at the level of two extraterrestrial civilizations ended with the great victory of the White race more than seven and a half thousand years ago. It is this date that the Slavs consider the beginning of the creation of the World, the ancient Slavic calendar began with it, which, to our regret, was canceled by Peter the Great.

And the fact that there was once a war of extraterrestrial civilizations, legends of many peoples of the world say, naturally, it is reflected in the traditions of the Slavic and Chinese people. So why didn't these civilizations leave any traces on Earth? It turns out that they did, and the Great Wall of China is not the only unique evidence of this. A lot of such artifacts have been found, but no one is in a hurry or even dares to publish all this data: firstly, then you need to rewrite all history and geography, and secondly, for many peoples, say, the same Americans or Chinese, this is not at all profitable .

Even we Russians cannot restore our true history - the history of the ancient Slavs, which, as it turns out, goes back not centuries, but millennia. However, watch the new documentary film "Ancient Chinese Russia", where you will find answers to these and many other questions that modern "fundamental" science is silent about.

The Great Wall of China (VKS), when the rain washed it away, turned out, to everyone's surprise, to be a badly molded remake ... It is only a 4-meter-high clay rampart lined with one or two layers of bricks. The shaft could well have been created by the Labor Army under Mao Zedong. Inside the shaft, people found glass containers, rusty empty cans and what is taken out to landfills. uncomplicated brickwork created in the 90s of the last century during the "restoration" of the VKS.

Before the "restoration" and, in particular, in the New Age, the VKS was just a rampart of rammed, and in some places not rammed clay, on which there was a willow palisade (IP), mentioned by Chinese poets of the 17th century. It marked the frontier. The IP is not a wall that looks like a fortress, but a conditional barrier, indicating that behind it there are no longer Han lands. See ill. 1 and 2.

ill. 1. But there is no unemployment. Brick is quite modern.

ill. 2. Funds disbursed. No matter what they shoved in there!

It is believed that the last Jesuit, a member of the tribunal of mathematicians, died in China in 1805, however, the Jesuit tradition in China was not interrupted. Here is a fresh series of historical and archaeological paradoxes, and it is impressive.

Take a look at the documents from the era of the Russian-Chinese war of 1900*, and you will see a strange phenomenon: the Russian troops that entered China in four directions - from Transbaikalia to Vladivostok - did not notice the Great Wall of China! The titanic structure (against such cavalry hordes from the north and set up) seemed to have vanished into thin air! Moreover, the eight world powers that then divided China - the last colonial reserve - among themselves did not notice this wall. The greatest artifact, hundreds of times larger than the volume of the pyramids of Egypt, has become invisible!

* This war is sometimes called the "Boxer Rebellion", but this is a substitution of concepts. There was a full-scale war of the eight major European powers for a new cut of China; she led Russia to Russo-Japanese War, the loss of Port Arthur and influence in Manchuria and Korea

Here is a cartoon depicting very accurately the main political realities of 1900.

Below is a Russian map for 1903. Here you can clearly see the image of the Great Wall of China (northeast of Beijing), and I showed the approximate route of the Russian troops to Beijing with a thick curved line. As you can see, it was unrealistic for the Russian troops not to know about the Wall; the cavalry had to bury themselves in it or find a breach in the Wall (they are there). But ... The Great Wall of China was simply not noticed. It is on the map, but not in the memories.

However, we can also recall that the matter did not end with the capture of Beijing. The allied troops conducted many punitive expeditions - all over China, and ... they also did not see any Great Wall. The Internet is full of testimonies of participants - Americans, Russians, British - with maps, documents. And no Wall!

They did not see the Great Wall even before this war, when the Russians were building the southern branch of the CER. They did not see the Great Wall even after - when Port Arthur was given to the Japanese. People saw another "Great Wall" - a three-meter-deep ditch and an earthen rampart * with willows planted on the rampart. This is a real defensive structure that corresponds to the military tactical thought of the 16th-18th centuries. Russia itself built exactly the same Great Wall in Altai - just in the 18th century. It perfectly helps the arrows to destroy the attacking cavalry, and if the Chinese army decided to stop the Russian troops, our Cossacks at this wall would have drunk hard. But Cixi was afraid to fight with Russia, and the Cossacks jumped over the ditch and the barrier rampart as casually as they crossed streams and hillocks.

* Encyclopedia of Brockhaus and Efron: "Initially, the wall was made of clay and earth, and therefore many of its sections have long since disappeared." The description of the Great Wall as a wall of granite and brick refers to only one of its sections - to the east of Kalgan (Zhang-chia-kou).

Now the wall stretches for hundreds and hundreds of kilometers, and much more is known about this new, entirely brick wall, shown to tourists. For example, the fact that it was "reconstructed" in 1957 and therefore is not an insurmountable barrier. Unlike her, the city's Beijing walls were made according to the rules, and when the Europeans took them by storm in 1900, the bones were broken without counting - they could not take them! If not for the paradoxical decision of Lieutenant-General N.P. Linevich to drag a cannon onto one of the walls in order to change the sector of fire, the Russians would not have entered Beijing first. And the Great Wall - no, does not meet anti-siege standards, since it was originally conceived as a sham. The usual new one.

Most likely, this new wall appeared (on the line of the old one) during the time of Mao's omnipotence, when tens of millions of people suddenly became a free labor force. Yes, the question arises why the witnesses are silent about this. But there is an answer: the “old” legend says that all the builders of this wall were dug under it.

NOTE. The evidence has already begun to surface; Thus, photographs appeared on the Internet, indicating that during the excavation of a stone tomb of the Ming Dynasty, a woman's Swiss watch of the middle of the 20th century was found right under it. Apparently, the imprisoned female scientist, who was preparing the tomb for the future landmark discovery, did not want to indulge in lies.

The Great Wall of China is one of the most famous pieces of architecture and the most prominent defensive structure in world history. Consisting of several sections, it stretches for more than 8,000 kilometers in the northern part of China and is so grandiose that it can be easily seen on satellite images of the planet. Being an object cultural heritage UNESCO, the Great Wall of China is of incredible value not only for the entire Chinese people, who have been building this monumental structure for centuries, but also for the entire world community.

But in recent times in the circles of historians and prominent scientists, hypotheses are increasingly being put forward that the Great Chinese wall built not by the Chinese at all, but by their neighbors, just for the purpose of protection from the Chinese. Let's try to figure out what these assumptions are based on and how serious the arguments of the doubters are.

Perhaps the very first thing that supporters of the "non-Chinese" origin of the defensive wall point to is the location of the loopholes. If the wall was built by the Chinese to defend against the northern nomadic tribes, then the loopholes should have been directed towards the north, from where the enemies could come. But for some reason, the loopholes on most of the Great Wall of China look south, into Chinese territory, and the height of the southern walls exceeds the northern ones. Another unusual fact is the location of some of the surviving stairs, which are designed to get the warriors on the wall. They are also located on the north side of the military structure.

Another interesting point is the design of the wall itself. It is similar to medieval European and Russian fortifications, which are designed to protect against firearms. But in the days of Ancient China, and even more so before our era, when, according to official historical science, the construction of the earliest sections of the Great Wall of China began, there were no firearms. The wild nomadic tribes did not own such weapons either, for protection from which the wall was allegedly built.

These facts suggest that those people who built this grandiose wall and subsequently used it for defense were geographically located on the north side. But if we assume that these were not the Chinese, then who then?

Researchers of this issue believe that the wall was built by the inhabitants of a country called Great Tartary. This state is indicated on many European medieval maps. In particular, on the map of Asia 1754 years I-e Carte de l'Asie, the border between the state called CHINE and the territory, which is designated GRANDE TARTARIE, passes exactly at the place of the modern location of the defensive structure.

While mysteries continue to accumulate in the question of the origin of the Great Wall of China, official historical science comments on what is happening only as pseudoscientific theories. But the history of mankind knows many examples when innovators were persecuted, and then recognized as the greatest scientists. It is quite possible that new facts will soon be discovered proving that the Great Wall of China is called so not because it was built by the Chinese, but because it was built to protect against the Chinese.

History hid the real creators of the Great Wall of China for many years. Find out about them today!

Some architectural structures inspire horror and reverence for ancient civilizations at the same time. For example, the Great Wall of China, the construction of which began in the 3rd century BC. and finally completed in 1644. Scientists are still arguing about the appointment of the largest ancient monument in Asia. A few years ago, the craziest of theories unexpectedly received historical confirmation. It turns out that the Chinese arrogated to themselves the right to be called the builders of the Great Wall of China, taking it away from the ancient Slavs.

Why is the official version about the construction of the wall not viable?

The generally accepted view, which so far can be found in any history textbook, states that the first sections of the wall were erected in 475-221 BC. It took at least a million people to build a reliable fortification of stone blocks. After the Qin dynasty came to power, the stone was partially replaced by adobe structures: each new ruler completed, modified and connected new sections of the wall. The main stage of construction, according to classical history, took at least 10-20 years. Tens of thousands of people died from hunger, poor sanitation and epidemics of viral diseases. Between 1366 and 1644, the Ming Dynasty repaired the collapsed sections of the wall, replacing them with more inexpensive bricks.

The historians themselves have proved only the last fact, because the clerks of the Chinese Ming emperors kept records of the materials used in the construction. The rest of the legend about the creation of the Great Wall of China looks like nothing more than a beautiful myth created to intimidate the enemies of a powerful country. In this area at the time of construction, such a large number of people could not have lived, which would correspond to the needs of a large-scale construction.

The architecture of the wall is similar to the fortifications of Europe and the Slavic siege walls - but the Chinese builders could not even know about the technology of their creation. And if earlier this assumption looked like another version, today you can find more than one weighty evidence for it.

The real story of the Great Wall of China, which was hidden for many centuries

For the first time, the assumption that the wall was erected not by the Chinese at all, but by someone else, was expressed in several scientific journals in 2011. In one of them, a comment was made by the President of the Academy of Fundamental Sciences, A.A. Tyunyaev, who shared his thoughts about the true origin of the creators of the architectural monument:

“As you know, to the north of the territory of modern China there was another, much more ancient civilization. This has been repeatedly confirmed by archaeological discoveries, made in particular on the territory of Eastern Siberia. Impressive evidence of this civilization, comparable to Arkaim in the Urals, not only has not yet been studied and comprehended by world historical science, but has not even received a proper assessment in Russia itself. As for the so-called Chinese wall, it is not quite right to speak of it as an achievement of the ancient Chinese civilization. Here, to confirm our scientific correctness, it is enough to cite only one fact.

What is the fact that a competent scientist is talking about, whose words can definitely be trusted? He considers it proof that the Chinese cannot be called the creators of the wall, the loopholes located along the entire perimeter of the fence. They are directed not to the north, but to the south, that is, towards China! This means that a certain people built a fence and placed weapons in it against the Chinese, and not to protect this people.

Here it would be logical to explain who defended himself from China with the help of the Great Wall. During excavations among the stones at its base were found vessels with scrolls and clay tablets, decorated with letters and drawings. Specialists in deciphering Chinese characters spent more than one month on these signs, but could not understand what even one of them means.

The letters turned out to be Slavic - they can also be found on some maps of China, which indicate that there were Russ behind the wall. Eastern Slavs were called Ruses, whose burial mounds were found not only in the central and southern strip of Russia and Ukraine, but also not far from the Great Wall of China. Will the Chinese one day be able to confess to the greatest hoax in their country's history?
