Two People Damage Great Wall Of China With Excavator
When Did This Wall Get Here? Let’s Break It Down To Get Through It.
A 55-year-old woman and a 38-year-old man were arrested for digging through the Great Wall of China. Why? Because they wanted to get through it.
It’s not like the wall just showed up and was in their way. They decided to dig through the wall to create a shortcut for their construction work nearby. They found an existing hole or small opening in the wall and decided to just make it bigger, according to multiple media outlets.
It’s How Old?
The Great Wall of China is one of the most popular wonders of the world. It is actually more than 2,300 years old according to China Highlights. Police told local news that the excavator caused damage to the wall that is “irreversible” according to CNN.
The two were arrested by the police in Yuyou after the damage was found and reported on Aug. 24. The damage was located on the part of the wall that dates back to the Ming dynasty. That’s around 1368 to 1644. They call it the 32nd Great Wall. It’s the area where a watch tower is located that is one of the few well preserved.
The Chinese government have recently upped the protection of the wall because of constant vandalism to it.
What Else Has Been Done?
Two years ago, visitors of the wall were detained, and they were fined by the local police for carving into the wall with a sharp object. And two tourists were also arrested because they entered a part of the wall that is not open to the public. They were charged with trespassing.
As of now, the two who used the excavator are still under arrest and it’s still being investigated. All we really want to know is how dumb do you have to be to not consider how idiotic of a decision to break through a wall that is a world treasure?
