What was The Great Wall of China built of?

Answer 1

The Great Wall was mainly built from earth, stones and wood. Due to the large quantity of materials required to construct the Great Wall, the builders always tried to use local sources. When building over the mountain ranges, the stones of the mountain were exploited and used; while in the plains, earth was rammed into solid blocks to be used in construction. In the desert, even the sanded reeds and juniper tamarisks were used to build the Great Wall.

It is rummored though and in much debate of whether or not the slaves that constructed the wall where sometimes buried within it. There have been accounts of unruley slaves or those that slacked in work being buried alive within the walls, though much of this may just be haunted stories of the thousands that died during its construction over the years.
