The Great Wall of China was irreparably damaged

The case of serious damage to the Great Wall of China was noted. The incident took place in Shanxi region of the country.

Two construction workers broke down a part of the ancient wall and created a makeshift road for the excavator to move freely.

Police have arrested a 38-year-old man and a 55-year-old woman who caused irreparable damage to the Ming Dynasty ancient monument.

The Great Wall of China was built from 220 BC to 1640 AD. In its time, this defense structure, which stretched for almost 22 thousand kilometers, occupies an important place in the history, culture and thought of the Chin country. The Great Wall of China is also mentioned in the national anthem.
