The Great Wall of China was constructed by the Qin Dynasty. Its purpose was to keep barbarians like the Mongols away from the more populated Han China.

It didn't really work though because barbarians, again, the Mongols, went around it.

It is now just used as a massive tourist attraction bringing in almost 10 million tourists a year. Basically its just a big source of revenue now.

Explanation:

2,300 years ago the first sections of the Great Wall were built to keep outsiders out, but ironically it is now rebuilt to draw tourists in. Over the centuries, the Great Wall has been built and rebuilt for three main purposes: as kingdom border defenses, to defend China's northern border, and for tourism.

In ancient Egypt, how was the authority of the pharaoh enhanced through the religious beliefs of
uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

Ancient Egyptian religion was a complex system of polytheistic beliefs and rituals that formed an integral part of ancient Egyptian society. It centered on the Egyptians' interactions with many deities believed to be present in, and in control of, the world. Rituals such as prayer and offerings were provided to the gods to gain their favor. Formal religious practice centered on the pharaohs, the rulers of Egypt, believed to possess divine powers by virtue of their positions. They acted as intermediaries between their people and the gods, and were obligated to sustain the gods through rituals and offerings so that they could maintain Ma'at, the order of the cosmos. The state dedicated enormous resources to religious rituals and to the construction of temples.
