During a business trip to Beijing, China, Pinhead takes some time to visit some famous historical places.
First he visits Tiananmen Square, the largest square of the world with space for 1,000,000 people. It has a sad history since 1989 2,000 to 3,000 students were killed during a demonstration.
Next to it he finds the Forbidden City, the imperial palace during the Ming and Qing dynasties. On 74 hectares, surrounded by a ten meter high wall, Pinhead finds buildings with 9,999 rooms, one less than rooms in heaven. The construction of the palace complex began in 1407 and was completed only fourteen years later in 1420. It was said that a million workers were driven into the long-term hard labor.
Next day he visits the Great Wall.
Knowing huge buildings in the USA he wants to see the hugest men made building of the world. The Great Wall was built from 3rd century BC until the beginning of the 17th century. The Wall stretches over a formidable 6,352km (3,948 miles), from east to west of China. Hundreds of thousands workers built the wall for protecting China from raids by nomadic tribes from Mongolia and Manchuria. Hundreds of thousands of workers died during the construction.
And what does Pinhead see? Hundreds of thousands of visitors, including IngolfZ. |
