Archaeologists have been excavating a “new Great Wall of China” that stretches for over 4,000 kilometres.
The excavations on a medieval frontier garrison in Mongolia are flipping everything we thought we knew about ancient walls on its head.
The international dig has revealed that some colossal barriers stretching across the Eurasian steppe weren’t built to fend off invaders - as per legend - but instead to manage people, mark territory, and show off dynastic might.
The so-called Medieval Wall System (MWS) takes in Mongolia, China and Russia – and hows now being hailed as a forgotten sibling to the Great Wall of China. However, it may have had a different purpose.
“We sought to determine the use of the enclosure and the Mongolian Arc,” said Professor Gideon Shelach-Lavi from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, who’s leading the excavations.
“What was its function? Was it primarily a military system designed to defend against invading armies, or was it intended to control the empire's outermost regions by managing border crossings, addressing civilian unrest, and preventing small-scale raids?
“Considerable investment in the garrison’s walls, as well as in the structures within them, suggests a year-round occupation”, concludes Professor Shelach-Lavi. “Future analysis of samples taken from this site will help us better understand the resources used by the people stationed at the garrison, their diet, and their way of life.”
The team, part of a Mongolian-Israeli-American research project called The Wall, surveyed the 405km-long Mongolian stretch – known as the Mongolian Arc – and excavated a fortified enclosure.
What they found was very different to what they expected.
The “wall” running along the Arc turned out not to be a towering fortress, but rather a shallow ditch and a mound of earth – unlikely to stop an army but perfect for controlling mo *** Local Caption *** 47

Archaeologists have been excavating a “new Great Wall of China” that stretches for over 4,000 kilometres.
The excavations on a medieval frontier garrison in Mongolia are flipping everything we thought we knew about ancient walls on its head.
The international dig has revealed that some colossal barriers stretching across the Eurasian steppe weren’t built to fend off invaders - as per legend - but instead to manage people, mark territory, and show off dynastic might.
The so-called Medieval Wall System (MWS) takes in Mongolia, China and Russia – and hows now being hailed as a forgotten sibling to the Great Wall of China. However, it may have had a different purpose.
“We sought to determine the use of the enclosure and the Mongolian Arc,” said Professor Gideon Shelach-Lavi from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, who’s leading the excavations.
“What was its function? Was it primarily a military system designed to defend against invading armies, or was it intended to control the empire's outermost regions by managing border crossings, addressing civilian unrest, and preventing small-scale raids?
“Considerable investment in the garrison’s walls, as well as in the structures within them, suggests a year-round occupation”, concludes Professor Shelach-Lavi. “Future analysis of samples taken from this site will help us better understand the resources used by the people stationed at the garrison, their diet, and their way of life.”
The team, part of a Mongolian-Israeli-American research project called The Wall, surveyed the 405km-long Mongolian stretch – known as the Mongolian Arc – and excavated a fortified enclosure.
What they found was very different to what they expected.
The “wall” running along the Arc turned out not to be a towering fortress, but rather a shallow ditch and a mound of earth – unlikely to stop an army but perfect for controlling mo *** Local Caption *** 47
