There were four major building periods of the wall:
208 BC (the Qin Dynasty)
1st century BC (the Han Dynasty)
1138 - 1198 (the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms Period)
1368-1620 (from the Hongwu Emperor until the Wanli Emperor of the Ming Dynasty)
The Great Wall was built nearly 2000 years ago and as we all know BC (Before Current era) no one really knows what year it was built but we are sure there will be several answers as the sections were built independently and connected at various times in the past.
The Great Wall wasn't built in a single year, it took many years to build. Construction first began over 2000 years ago during the Qin Dynasty (221-206 B.C.) under the Emperor Qin Shi Huangdi. This original wall was some 5,000 kilometres long, and designed to defend China against marauding Hun tribes from what is now Mongolia. The Wall was extended during the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644 A.D.) to a length of over 6,400 kilometres, or over 4,000 miles- it was then that watchtowers and artillery positions were added.
different dynasties built their own great walls; The origin of Great Wall should be Eastern Zhou dynasty, when warring states built walls to defend their borders, then Qinshihuang united China and connected these walls; later, Han dynasty built the longest Great Wall in Chinese history to defend Huns; almost every dynasty had built or fix that wall except Tang and Qing dynasty. Today's great wall you see in Beijing was built during Ming dynasty
it was built in 7th century b.c

The Great Wall of China was structured between 1368-1644.Hope this helps :)
The Great Wall of China wasn't built in one, or even a few, years. It started out as a bunch of smaller walls built around 400 BC. When Emperor Qin Shihuangdi ruled China around 220 BC to 206 BC, he began a project to connect these walls, to make a longer wall, and protect China from invaders. However, most of this part of the wall no longer remains. Most of the modern Great Wall of China was built by the Ming Dynasty, up until the 1500s. The Great Wall of China, despite its tremendous length, was unable to prevent invaders from attacking China, and thousands of workers died building the wall. So even though it is majestic, it is really a tragedy.
the great wall of china is actually made of wood!
