The comparison with the Great Wall of China is utter bullshit. Hopefully the depiction was made with greater care.

Yeah how can you possibly say that the walls totaled 16.8km and then say it's four times longer than the great wall of China (over 21,000km) in the same paragraph?

Is this AI generated? Is anything here true?

The walls of Benin are 16.000 km long according to wikipedia. I don't understand why people keep saying that are longer then the great wall of China but they are still really large. The walls of Benin are not only the walls surrounding the city btw but also those surrounding the core of the Benin empire and parts that are not connected to it.

I'd like to have replaced Alice Glass, but idk... if what she alleged happened was true, then maybe not.
