The latest news about The GREAT WALL and its actual length and size can't be more astonishing.
Just the length of the Ming Dynasty portion Great Wall, excluding the Qin and Han dynasties portion of the Wall, was under-measured by a whopping 1,500 miles, give or take a few miles.
The new length of the Ming Dynasty Great Wall is 5,500 miles long, revealed the two organizations conducting the research, the State Administration of Cultural Heritage (SACH) and the State Bureau of Surveying and Mapping (SBSM). This is the first time that a study of this kind has been conducted by China using modern and three dimensional measuring methods.
