what materials were used to construct the great wall of china
The Great Wall of China was originally built before the use of bricks in construction. This means the Wall had to be built with rammed earth, wood and stones. However, During the Ming dynasty, bricks were used a lot in some areas of the wall, as well as other materials such as tiles and lime. These bricks were much easier to work with than earth and stone because of their size, weight and tolerance. Stone was better for tolerance, however it's much harder to work with.
