Discussion of changes for version 2 of the forum map of The Great Wall of China

[chinoook]

This is clearly a road. But it is accompanied by many linear structures of which one could be the wall.

I believe that line. But how did they guard it? No watchtowers. Did they live in tents? I am sure there is knowledge about such things somewhere outside. How can we get into contact to that?

Yes, maybe they probably lived in tents so they had no use for towers. Probably difficult to get information about this area.

Do you think this could be a wall?

Attachment 124

I noticed that this area is marked as a wall: 40°12'4.27"N 117°37'28.44"E

I don't think there's a wall here and it doesn't look like GW towers.

Furthermore I don't think this is wall: 40°11'6.06"N 117°32'34.35"E

[Kim]

Could this be part of the Shenyang Great Wall?

Attachment 126

Look where it's crossed by a road:

42°13'54.53"N 123°30'33.00"E

42°14'25.07"N 123°30'56.85"E

It's mainly farmland in this area so probably not much left of the GW.

I am quite sure all of this locations are wall. I don't have the opportunity to prove it right now but I plea for marking those places at least as "probable wall" in our map.

At least possible.
Look at 42°23'41.30"N 123°38'31.56"E and surrounding. I can find the probable wall there. But it is your location, Kim.

The marked towers is most likely new (even though they are on the ridge) and simple doesn't look GW.

Yes. It looks very much like the Great Wall. I think it should be added to the map.

I agree. It was probably me that originally marked these as walls.

I have put all I had on my working list into our map. It is free for you now.

Once again I would like to suggest that nothing is transferred to our map before we all agree what to do. I can see that the questionable sections i Tianjin have made it to the map now

After all revision of the map the person making the revision should make a precise list of the changes made. Now it's totally impossible to see what is new and what is old.
