  1. The fort at Kumbhalgarh (near Udaipur in Rajasthan) is the largest in India and their wall is second in length only to the Great Wall of China


  2. Kumbhalgar in India :

    Kumbhalgarh (Kumbhalmer) is a Merwar fortress in the Rajsamand District of Rajasthan state in western India. The fort has perimeter walls that extend 36 kilometres in length, claimed to be the longest in the world after the Great Wall of China. Over 360 temples are within the fort, 300 ancient Jain and the rest Hindu. The vista from the palace top typically extends tens of kilometers into the Aravalli Range. Built during the course of the 15th century AD, and enlarged through the 1800s, it is now accessible to the general public as a museum.

    Kumbhalgarh is also a birthplace of Maharana Pratap, the great king and warrior of Mewar.

    According to legend the Maharana of Kumbhalgarh tried so many times to build the wall of the fort but each time failed to do so. They consulted a local pilgrim about their construction problems. The pilgrim advised that he be beheaded and after cutting his head to build a temple where the head should fall, and to build the wall and the fort where the rest of his body lay. Following his advice, they succeed in building the world's second largest wall.

  4. None of the references I found mentioned a cemetary.  Hadrian's Wall was my first thought, but I searched for others.  The longest of the walls that I found is the one in Iran at 200 km, but it is in ruins.

    Most famous is the wall across Britain that was named Hadrian's Wall after him. Hadrian's Wall was built, beginning in 122, to keep Roman Britain safe from hostile attacks from the Picts. It was the northernmost boundary of the Roman empire until early in the fifth century.

    The wall, stretching from the North Sea to the Irish Sea (from the Tyne to the Solway), was 80 Roman miles (about 73 modern miles) long, 8-10 feet wide, and 15 feet high. In addition to the wall, the Romans built a

    May 27, 2007 ... The world’s second longest wall is in India. To be precise, in Rajasthan: at the Kumbalgarh Fort. I was blissfully unaware of this myself ...

    It may not be a patch on the Great Wall of China, but it is still impressive. With a total length of 36 km, the 7-metre wide Kumbalgarh walls snake up and down the Aravalli hill range in the Rajsamand district of southern Rajasthan. Contained within them are some of the State’s most impressive palaces and temples, well worth a visit if one is anywhere near Udaipur, which is about 90 km away.

    Tehran, Aug 27 : British and Iranian archaeologists have discovered the ruins of a 200 kilometre long wall, the second longest wall in Asia after the Great Wall of China, in northern Iran.

    Experts believe the Gorgan Great Wall in northern Iran's Golestan Province was built at about the same time as the 'Great Wall' and was used as a defence system against the invasions of the Ephthalites, a nomadic people who once lived in Central Asia.

  5. 'Great Wall', in China; the oldest ' Great Wall; do not count 'them' and may not find, the graves; millions of people,.. the poor, passed-away, in past and present time; we should pray for 'them'.The present the population is the 'great', counting truly, in China; they are the wisest people;  with my  hat, bow-down to them.
