[No Spoilers] The White Walkers built The Wall. Tinfoil time! (self.gameofthrones) submitted 3 years ago by Naggers123We Are The Storm. Standing 700ft tall, The Wall is the most awe-inspiring and mystifying landmark in the whole of Westeros. Legends say it was constructed 8000 years ago by one Brandon the Builder, forebears to the Stark family. He supposedly used magic to raise a wall 300 miles long made with nothing but ice.
Several walls were being built as early as the 7th century BC;[3] these, later joined together and made bigger and stronger, are now collectively referred to as the Great Wall.[4] Especially famous is the wall built 220â206 BC by Qin Shi Huang, the first Emperor of China. Little of that wall remains. Since then, the Great Wall has been rebuilt, maintained, and enhanced; the majority of the existing wall is from the Ming Dynasty (1368â1644).
