The Wall of India

!!The Wall Of India!!
It is about 12 km long. Some experts assume its length is up to a fort situated about 80 km away by road distance. At a certain length, its height is about 11 ft and its width is about 7 ft at the top. Some archaeological experts decided its construction time was about 1100 years back. The purpose of the wall is a mystery to all. But it seems it was built for military purposes. I think this is an uncompleted ambitious work of a king as at a certain length it is well built, finished organized with staircases to climb up and drainage to flow rainy water but at a certain length simply hoarded the stones. It started in my village. You can see it from the origin point on ‘Google earth’ at 23°08´31.56´´N and 78°42´57.04´´E to the southwest direction only up to some length as obstructed by dense forest. We can assume its length is 80 km or more up to said fort as the same type of wall is situated at two more places at a certain interval in between my village and said fort.
My village name is Gorakhpur which is situated in the Raisen district of Madhya Pradesh.  Bhopal is about 180 km from here in the west and about 135 km away from Jabalpur in the east. The nearest railway station is Gadarwara about 50 km away by road distance in the south.
