Walls

I was thinking about walls today. Actually, I was thinking how Gondor could have better defended Minas Tirith and was thinking about the walls in that fashion. Something like that...yeah.

So ANYway. Walls. Hadrian's Wall is one of the most famous Roman monuments. It separated the civilized world from the "barbarians". It was the most heavily fortified border in the Roman empire. Big deal, right? Here it is for your viewing pleasure:

Boom! Hells YEAH. Go Romans! Beating down barbarians in their Legions and just chillaxing behind their awesome wall. 

Then I'm all like: wait. Didn't the Chinese build a wall? Turns out they did. 220 years BC. As in, 300 years before the Romans. Not that big of a deal, must be more of a dirt mound than Europe's first castles right? I mean it can't be that much better because...

What the hell? Not only did they romp Roman's wall, they built it in rocky, mountainous territory. 300 years before Rome was known throughout the world, China's all like: "Yeah...we did that." They did, and better. Four men could stand side by side on that thing and teach each other how to dougie. 

I'm just saying, China kicks ass sometimes too. Rock on China, with your awesome wall. Rock on.
