Maybe not with the eyes, but other ways.
The Great Wall myth is the belief that the Great Wall of China is visible from space or the moon.
No, the Great Wall is not visible from space or the moon. This is a common misconception that has been debunked by astronauts and satellite images.
The belief in the Great Wall myth may have originated from the exaggeration of the wall's length and the use of the term "visible" in a figurative sense. It may have also been perpetuated by false or exaggerated claims in popular media.
No, China has not officially recognized the Great Wall myth. In fact, the Chinese government has actively debunked this myth and even created a campaign called "Seeing is Believing" to educate the public about the true visibility of the Great Wall.
The Great Wall myth has become a popular cultural legend and has contributed to the mystique and allure of the Great Wall. However, it is important to separate fact from fiction and understand the true history and purpose of the Great Wall.
