[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.
