A3 Kaushal, World History 1h The worn-down steps of the Great Wall of China. If you ever have a chance tovisit the Great Wall of China, you will quickly realize that the steps are uneven and verysteep, making them difficult to walk up and down. While time has certainly takenits toll, the stairs were deliberately designed with varying heightsso that unsuspecting invaders who were unfamiliar with the wall would trip orfall, ultimately slowing them down. Some other interesting facts thatI learned about the Great Wall of China are that it is notone single wall. It is actually a series of walls with some parts in NorthKorea and Mongolia. If all the walls were connectedand straightened out to actually make one giant wall, it would be equivalent to1.8 times the diameter of the Earth. The diameter of the Earth is 7,456 miles(12,000 km), whereas the Great Wall of China is 13,170 miles (21,196 km) long.

Q5 BesideLord Krishna, if any others avatar of Lord Vishnu did ever used SudarshanChakra? If yes, then when? A5 Radhe Krishna Devotee,Servant of Goddess Lakshmi10h Yes!!.Varaha avatar of Lord Vishnu used Sudarshan Chakra to killHiranyaksha. Afterwards the highly powerfulHiranyaksha discharged a burning Sakti on the breast of the boar-formedNarayana which filled Brahma with surprise. Seeing that Sakti about to fallupon him the highly powerful Boar, setting up a roar, felled it on the ground. Thereupon the Lord, whirling hissunny discus, shot it on the head of the Danava king. Like unto thesummit of the mount Meru clapped by a thunder-bolt the Daitya-king fell downdead on earth; on his death, all the Daityas filled with fear, fled away on allsides.
