Conversation With Emily #672392



This one was an incredibly short conversation, as Emily had a question I couldn't answer. We were watching the Olympics and they showed footage of the Great Wall of China, high atop the Himalayas.

Emily What's the point of that wall? Did it do any good? I mean if someone could climb that mountain, wouldn't they have no problem climbing over a wall?

Me Silence (Editor's Note: She does have a valid point. I just had no answer).

well, maybe the wall would stop the invaders from bringing their catapults along with them. ???

They's still have to haul those catapults up a mountain. Also when the wall reaches the coast, it would be pretty easy for an invader to just wade/walk around the wall.
