The Great Wall consists of numerous walls—many of them parallel to each other—built over some two millennia across northern China and southern Mongolia. The most extensive and best-preserved version of the wall dates from the Ming dynasty (1368–1644) and runs for some 5,500 miles (8,850 km) east to west from Mount Hu near Dandong, southeastern Liaoning province, to Jiayu Pass west of Jiuquan, northwestern Gansu province.

    Although Hadrian was not tolerant of certain religious groups throughout his reign, he belongs in the Hall of Fame because he focused on consolidation rather than expansion, united the empire using architecture, and showed interest in people of all social classes.

After Hadrian's father died in 85 AD, Hadrian was entrusted to the care of two men. One of them, a cousin of his father, later became emperor Trajan.
