The earliest reference to the Mongols classifies them as a Tang dynasty tribe of Shiwei during the eighth century. It was only after the fall of the Liao dynasty in 1125 that they became an important tribe on the Central Asian steppe, but tribal wars weakened their power over the ensuing century. During the thirteenth century, the term Mongol was used to refer to the Mongolic and Turkic tribes who fell under the control of Genghis Khan. The Mongols are primarily a shamanist society; their central deity is the sky god Tenger.
Another great wall based in the Caucasus includes the Wall of Derbent it was raised by the Sassanid empire to prevent Hunnic-Khazar invasions and really deserved a mention
In Croatia there is "The Walls of Ston", built in 14th century and is thought to be the longest preserved medieval stone fortification system in Europe, and one of the longest such walls in the world, the world’s second-longest preserved fortification system today. Build by city of Ragusa (Dubrovnik), "only" 5.5km (originally 7km) long, but well preserved, you can walk the whole length of it.
I've been there and visited them! truly fascinating. In medieval times, they also extracted a lot of salt from the salt fields there. Those same salt fields still exist and are still in use today.
Amazing video and I love the new addition of the little pieces of art to illustrate what it looks like, like the Normandy bunker coast and the West Sahara walls etc
You mentioned the atlantic wall, but im surprised you didnt mention the maginot line. its also not a wall per-se, but definitely more of a wall than the atlantic wall

He mentions that it was also for preventing large migrations. He doesn’t omit anything particularly important, what he says about the Roman walls is true.
Your channel is in a disparate need of an upgrade of its map my friend I really love how understandable things get on a map, but the different topographical and environmental differences really do make a change to the story telling
there is also Kelasuri wall in Abkhazia, Georgia. wall is built in 15-16 centuries by prince of one of western georgian principalities to defend from northern semi nomad Circassian raiders raiding Georgian lands. this wall is main proof of theory which says that modern abkhazians are ones who came after fall of united Georgia and assimilated local Georgians there. alongside with the fact that medieval abkhazian aristocracy had georgian dynastic names and spoke/wrote in georgian language.
I'm pretty sure the wall of Jericho, now known as the city of Tell es-Sultan is around 8000-10000bce. Not to mention all the structures found in turkey and surrounding areas which are dated to similar times, which include walls.
For context the Qin weren't the first to build the wall in northern china, there were already parts of the wall built by other states, Qin simply used them to create one long wall. There is a story how on one military campaign the Qin soldiers were suprised and terrified when they came across a giant wall, part of what is now the great wall of China
Great Video! I never knew so much about walls till now :) One thing: why did you leave out the Maginot Line? That would have been another example of "going around the wall"
@GeoHistory hi! Firstly, I want to say that you really have a nice channel where you tell chronological facts in the world and i like it. So i just wish you continue this video and that everything is fine with you. Secondly, I want to ask you to do video about evolution of culture, please.🙏🙏🙏 Thank you!
The Gaoju (高車 lit. "High Cart"), also known as Tiele,[90] were early Turkic speakers related to the earlier Dingling,[91][92] who were once conquered by the Xiongnu.[93][94] Weishu also mentioned the linguistic and ethnic proximity between the Gaoju and the Xiongnu.[95] de la Vaissière proposes that the Hephthalites had originally been one Oghuric-speaking tribe who belonged the Gaoju/Tiele confederation.[82][96][97]
Honourable mention would be the Dingo Fence in Australia! even though it’s not a wall (or is it?) (is a fence a wall) (I feel like the Dingo fence is similar to a wall because it’s a physical barrier and pretty sturdy. It isn’t temporary as we would consider a fence to be)
I gotta say you forgot to mention one of the most important walls of human history and arguably a proper wonder! The Theodossian wall which kept Constantinople firmly greek for several centuries and withstood unending barrages from enourmous Ottoman cannon fire for an entire month! Arguably the greatest City wall in Human history

That's a bit over simplist. It's geo politics we're talking about. Where I live, there is one of these walls and thank God it's there, otherwise the other side just keep sending terrorists to slaughter us. And unfortunately, many in the world want us to be slaughtered.
In 1848 'King Kamehameha III' had walls built all over the Hawaiian Islands 'The Great Mahele' (the great 'divide') to end territorial conflict. (A lot of which still stand today!) Just thought I'd throw that in since I'm from Hawaii🤙
In Istanbul, There was the Theodosian Walls, which first had a moat, the 1st wall, the paratechion, the 2nd wall, the peribolo, and the thick wall. They protected Istanbul (Constantinople) from even Attila the Hun, The Avars, Turkish (Pre-Ottomans) and The Arabs. The Ottomans took a long time, before the wall is breached. Today, many of the walls stand.
I feel u missed out on Walls on Rome, Walls of babylon, Maginot line and the most important of them all, Justinians walls who kept out non romans for hundreds of years
Another notable wall in history is the Hadrian's Wall in northern England, which was built by the Romans to mark the northern boundary of their empire and protect against invasions by tribes from Scotland. The wall stretched over 70 miles and was a testament to the Roman's military strategy and engineering capabilities. In medieval Europe, walls were commonly built around cities and towns to protect against enemy invasions and raiders. These walls were often constructed of stone and were fortified with towers, gates, and other defensive structures. Walls have also been used for political purposes, such as the Berlin Wall which was erected by the Soviet Union in 1961 to separate East and West Berlin. The wall became a symbol of the Cold War and the division between capitalist and communist ideologies. In recent years, walls have become a controversial topic, with some arguing for their use as a means of border control and others opposing them on humanitarian and practical grounds. The history of walls is a complex one, reflecting the changing needs and priorities of societies throughout history.

In addition to the Atlantic Wall, Nazi Germany also designated the Westwall (aka Siegfried line) and the Ostwall (aka Panther-Wotan line). The former was built in the 1930s, and slowed the allies down somewhat in 1944. The latter was only devised as an emergency strategy in 1943, and was mostly overcome by the Red Army on the move.
I know that, but Churchill did mention the Iron curtain for the first time in 1946 and this was the situation at that time. In the video we can see the date, we are before 1955 and Austria was then still occupied.

A common misconception is that the german “Atlantikwall” translates to “Atlantic wall”. But that is not the case.
A german “Wall” is rather a lose, strategicly placed “rampart”, so the terminology in german is pretty accurate.
It was rather never intended to be a wall
Thanks. The english word "wall" would rather work by the german word "Wand" or "Mauer"
And another word for "rampart" would be "fortification", as explained in the video. Funny with false friends like that.

nice to mention that Roman walls weren't as defensive as they were for movement control between the line
I agree. That is actually a key fact about Hadrian's Wall - it was primarily to control commerce via taxation... not defence.
