April 21, 2009- By: Leslie Friesen

Today we found out that the Great Wall of China is not only 6700 kilometers long. Using a GPS system, scientists saw more of the Wall from space. Scientists believe the Wall was not seen earlier because it was covered in sand from sandstorms. They found about 1800 more kilometers. That means the wall is about 8500 kilometers long!! Think of all the artifacts that will be found. Seeing as they are buried in sand, they will be very well preserved.

We worked on our timelines, today. Remember they are due on Friday!

We are very excited that Reston Collegiate has been commenting on our blog! Thank you Reston!
