Archaeologists discovered the remains of a building along the Great Wall that they believe served as a storehouse for weapons.
Archaeologists have discovered dozens of ancient 'stone grenades' along the iconic Great Wall of China, according to a report.Researchers made the find in the ruins of a building located in a section of the structure known as the Badaling wall. This part of the Great Wall, which lies around 50 miles northwest of Beijing's city center, is the most visited section.
Construction continued right up until the Ming Dynasty, which spanned the years 1368-1644. The most extensive and best-preserved portions of the Wall, including the Badaling section, date to this dynasty.'The Great Wall reflects collision and exchanges between agricultural civilizations and nomadic civilizations in ancient China,' the UNESCO description of the site reads.
