        I thought Hun was a generic term like barbarian

          No, it was a specific tribe.

          However there were “barbarian” tribes near China named the Dzungar and the Xiongu, both of which are a bit like “Hun” and either of which are suggested to perhaps be the eastern side of that same tribe.

    The tourist-y parts of it are pretty much all newly rebuilt anyway; there’s not much of the original wall left at Mutianyu or Simatai or wherever.

      Now there’s even less of the original wall.

    So is it now ‘The Pretty Good Walls of China’?

        Given that you can now drive a truck through, I’d say it’s no longer adequate.

        Ya I like that but you missed ‘walls’ plural.

    I can’t help but wonder that literally sounds like what happened the first episode of Attack on Titan.

      What are you talking about? It was the Collosal Titan that destroyed the wall, wasn’t it?

    Shitty, but it also looks like that section of wall is just earthwork. Maybe a professional will chime in and say there’s something valuable about it, but given that it’s already mostly gone from erosion, I’m not sure if anything was actually lost here.
