Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Historians usually consider the defensive walls built during the Spring and Autumn period (770–476 BCE) and the Warring States period (475–221 BCE) to be the first sections of what would eventually become the structure known as the Great Wall of China, putting the wall at almost 3, 000 years old.

Detailed explanation-2: -The Great Wall of China was constructed from the 7th Century BC by the Chu State and lasted until 1878 in the Qing Dynasty. The most remaining we see today was built in the Ming Dynasty about 600 years ago.

Detailed explanation-3: -The Wall is widely thought to date back 2, 000 years to just after 221 BC, when China was first unified. In fact, almost everything which is that old is no more than a mound of earth. The popular idea of the Wall derives from the stone, battlemented structure built by the Ming (1358–1644).

Detailed explanation-4: -Users will learn that although initial fortifications were begun in the 3rd century BCE, the Great Wall was predominately built during the Ming Dynasty (1368–1644), totaling at least fourteen centuries to construct.
