Wasn't to keep mongolians out


because like, if it was, then 1700 years is far too long to build it because like, they would just ran around the side of the wall, or climb a hill and rain arrows over top the wall. because you know, the wall didn't do jack *beep* for military purposes. i totally believe it. like totally.

Maybe this isn't bad on historical facts, like, it is a fictional story, like, it is a movie, so, huh, idk.

But seriously now, I think this movie is set on another time line, where giant komodo dragons exist in the world, that would also explain the white guy in ancient China.

It was built before the mongols. it was built to keep out other nomadic raiders

...and!, it would have been a much better film if it had been Mongols rather than fantasy dragons.
