World Population Comparison

Yesterday China has one of the oldest civilizations. The first settlements date back to 6000 BC. In ancient times the Chinese believed their culture was the most perfect on Earth. They called their land Chung- Kuo, The Middle Kingdom.

The Great Wall To preserve their cultural purity and to keep foreign influence out, they built a huge wall.

Some Facts About The Great Wall Ch’in Shih Huang Ti, the first real emperor, had the Great Wall built to keep out Mongol invaders in the Second Century BC. The Wall is almost 3,750 miles long and travels over many miles of mountainous terrain in northern China. The Wall was built by 1,000,000 people in a period of just 10 years. It is the only manmade object that can be seen from outer space.

The Emperor-Son of Heaven In ancient times China was ruled by an emperor. He was believed to be the Son of Heaven and he lived in a beautiful palace inside the famous Forbidden City. The emperor was believed to be divine. He was the only person allowed to wear yellow.

The Forbidden City The Forbidden City is located in China’s capital, Beijing There are 9,999 rooms in the Forbidden City. Today tourists from around the world walk where only emperors did.
