You know that guy was only working for the few shots he needed to film this lol. The other guys were doing all the work

[@theliveing]

I wonder what drives that man to live a life like that.. I'm sure there's something insightful that can be gained from knowing.

[@1seanv]

2:26: in modern times, that would be a gas-powered Jumping Jack - much less work physically, but tends to be ornery on inclines.

[@scyther1141]

"Great wall explorer"

[@Turt_and_birb]

scyther1 is a pica

[@happyspookday]

You did not just render almost every single brick in that small scene

[@ChadDidNothingWrong]

Dude that was amazing. Whoever did the effects earned the hell out of their pay

[@danielweston9188]

Unknowing about the soil - I doubt that . . .

[@emmanuel_c18]

La Great Wall yeah boyyyy!

[@asianfireflie]

Sure like to own a piece

[@mp.h.n4344]

Hes a Fair Brother man.

[@fireaza]

"Great Wall Explorer"? Somehow, I don't think that the wall is big enough and uncharted enough that there can be "explorers".

[@tylercruce7055]

It’s over 13000 miles long. I would say it’s quite large

[@jeprillindain3150]

A Great Wall explorer... Really?

[@BeardedBamboo]

*Donald Trump Intensifies*

[@Th3man12]

trump, take notes

[@dexterkun4307]

Are there bodies inside the great wall?

[@joebidenshusband2836]

Unfortunately yes

[@scubbygubbins]

So I guess you could say... *Loess is more.*

[@edge-of-the-internet]

lol

[@Zeno-uq7uu]

I guess less is more

[@bakiprinc]

and what about human skeletons inside the wall?

[@Ntmoffi]

Yeah he's leaving that one little bit of calcium carbonate out isn't he.

[@deimoskrijgsman]

still waiting for trum comments

[@OldMrSarvy]

plot twist: the wall didnt work,the mongols still invaded

[@linnazhu3083]

Where have you heard that from? Did you know that, the new studies shows that because certain part of Great Wall are super steep, it's very difficult for invaders to get in and it actually prevented some armies. The size and length of the Great Wall has made it to be a historical artifact. Guess what? It's around 4,000 to 5,000 years old. After all those years it still haven't decompose. Goodness, talking to you guys is just not worth it. Next time, try getting more accurate informations than just hearing it and saying it. Give me a proof of what you said is correct or else please stop spreading rumors about the age old treasure and artifact of the world.

[@BadnessUnusual]

+Linna Zhu well, someone is edgy

[@mo0pb-p30]

+Linna Zhu they could have use ladders , ladders wee a thing back then

[@sharpasacueball]

yeah but an entire army crossing over with ladders takes a very long time and by the time they've crossed, the chinese would have already been prepared.

[@theliveing]

You win, but you also wasted a chance to say anything worth the while..

[@saffirehman1155]

And pour some concrete and voila made an cheap trump wall

[@MsIndent]

Last I checked - the wall between US and Mexico exists and Trump has nothing to do with it
I'd expect more smartness out of subscribers of this channel

[@denricjaspersarmiento2464]

Donald Trump will make that procedure

[@13Namir13]

Plot twist . Trumps wall
