This draws me to The Great Wall of China. The three dynasties that constructed the wall were the Qin, the Han, and...

    Walls and Borders Do good fences really make good neighbors (666) Robert Frost's poem Mending Wall examines this as a local issue. It can also be interpreted as a global issue.
