How many workers did it take to build the Great Wall of China, and how many died in the process?
‘ The death toll in the building of the first Great Wall was astounding: More than a million people died building this 3,000 mile section more than 300 people per mile. Three million people–70 percent of China’s population at the time–was involved in building the Qin Wall. The Great Wall’s height averages from 15 to 30 feet high it’s width averages from 15 to 25 feet wide with about a 13-foot wide roadway on top.’ GW of C: http://library.thinkquest.org/…/chinese.
