Walls are all the rage these days.
A little nugget, for perspective, or not.
"The Great Wall has been shown to be not 'over 2,000 years old', not '6,000 miles [9,700 kilometres] long', not 'visible from outer space' - not visible on the ground in many places - and never to have been a single continuous structure.' It did not keep out marauding nomads nor was that its original purpose; instead of defending and defining Chinese territory, it was probably designed to augment and project it.'"
