haqihana, "Maybe you misunderstood my post" Quite a common experience for me -g- I went looking for the answer (prior to 1994/95 this would require, at the least, for me to expend energy by forcing myself out of my chair and into my car to drive to a place called a library). Here is what I found. The Wall served well. Only when a dynasty had weakened from within were invaders from the north able to advance and conquer. Both the Mongols (Yuan Dynasty, 1271-1368) and the Manchurians (Qing Dynasty,1644-1911) were able take power, not because of weakness in the Wall but because of weakness in the government and the poverty of the people. They took advantage of rebellion from within and stepped into the void of power without extended wars. ce.eng.usf.edu Here are a couple great images of the Great Wall. crystalinks.com I am considering building my own Great Wall to keep out the people to my East. They are a bad people, with bad ideas (Gore signs on front lawn, a very clear indication). I think I shall use wood and it shall be six feet high, which happens to be the maximum allowed by local law -g- HAGO TH
