Keywords:
Great Wall of China, Cemetery of the Dead, Yangshao culture, The Qing dynasty.Abstract
Ancient civilizations left a unique mark on human history. Every civilization has its own ancient knowledge, great architectural examples, and historical lessons. They hold in their bosom the thousand-year-old secrets and forgotten truths of human history. Among them, we can mention the world's greatest monuments - Ancient Egyptian pyramids, and mysterious palaces in India whose doors have remained unopened for centuries. These ancient architectural monuments amaze with their grandeur and charm. In particular, we can talk about the "Great Wall of China," located in northeastern China, which stretches for about 9 thousand kilometers and has become a symbol and an integral part of the "Under-sky Country."
