Are there people buried in the great wall of china if so how many?

Answer 1

None. They knew better than to weaken the wall with a decaying corpse. There were people buried near it, presumably laborers who were worked to death, but no bodies have ever been found inside it.

Incorrect. Thousands of bodies have been found buried in the foundations of the wall. The labor for the wall was in the form of soldiers, convicts, prisoners of war and civilians such as farmers, etc. And many died of starvation and disease. Materials for the wall consisted of anything nearby, such as clay, stone, willow, reeds and sand. The bodies found in the wall were mostly in the foundations or used to make up thickness. It is estimated that between 2-3 million Chinese died building the wall over the centuries. But, as the above answer states, there have also many many bodies found buried in close proximity to the wall as well.

Short Simple answer-

They couldn't have because when the bodies decayed, the wall would have become weak and if there were millions of people buried it would have collapsed by now. No bodies or bones have been found inside it. Bodies where buried near it but not under on in it.

Answer 2

No, fortunately they weren't stupid enough to weaken the structure of the Great Wall with a bunch of decaying corpses. Unfortunately, there are tons of dead bodies underground near the Great Wall of people worked to death.
