[LINK] More with google maps - Uluru and Great Wall

[Kim Holburn]

The other thing about the great wall is that the tourist areas have  
been reconstructed.  Much of it is just rubble.  Many parts were  
scavenged for building material during the cultural revolution.  Also  
it's been built and rebuilt many times.
