(MENAFN- Jordan News Agency) A considerably long stretch of the Great Wall of China has disappeared due to natural erosion and unchecked human activity in the absence of preservation measures, says a report in Beijing Times.
Research conducted by the China Great Wall Society showed that only around eight percent of the Great Wall built in Ming dynasty the most visible section of the Great Wall today are well-preserved.
The report on Sunday, citing a survey last year by the Great Wall of China Society, said nearly one-third of the Wall has given way as rains led to the erosion of ramparts and the wall. Trees and grass growing in the cracks of the wall have also increased the risks of collapse, the Indian Express said.
