They can be kept for up to six months at 40 degrees Fahrenheit (4 C) in a ventilated container filled with wet sawdust or moss.

Here are some key facts about the Great Wall of China:

Construction: The construction of the Great Wall began in the 7th century BC and continued for centuries, with various dynasties contributing to its expansion and maintenance. The most well-known sections were built during the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644 AD).

Length: The total length of the Great Wall is estimated to be over 13,000 miles (21,196 kilometers), although not all sections are connected. It stretches from the east coast of China to the western part of the country.

Purpose: The primary purpose of the Great Wall was defense and military fortification. It was built to protect China from invasions by nomadic tribes, such as the Mongols, Turks, and others from the north.

Structure: The Great Wall is not a single continuous wall but consists of multiple walls, towers, and fortifications built across rugged terrains like mountains, hills, and deserts. The construction materials varied depending on the region, including stones, bricks, wood, and compacted earth.

Watchtowers: One of the defining features of the Great Wall is its watchtowers. These towers were strategically placed along the wall to provide observation points for soldiers to spot potential threats and communicate with neighboring towers.

UNESCO World Heritage Site: The Great Wall of China has been recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1987. It is considered a remarkable engineering achievement and a testament to the historical and cultural significance of China.

Here are some key points about the Ming Tombs:

Construction: The construction of the Ming Tombs began in 1409 during the reign of the Yongle Emperor and continued for over two centuries until the collapse of the Ming Dynasty. Each tomb was built as an individual complex within a separate valley, reflecting the imperial belief in the harmony between heaven and earth.

Layout: The tombs are situated at the southern foot of the Tianshou Mountain, with the Great Wall of China running along the northern side. The entire area covers a vast expanse of around 40 square kilometers and is surrounded by mountains on three sides, creating a natural protective barrier.

Thirteen Emperors: The tombs house the remains of 13 emperors of the Ming Dynasty, including the famous Yongle Emperor, who moved the capital to Beijing and initiated the construction of the Forbidden City. The most well-known tomb is that of the Wanli Emperor, which is named the Changling Tomb.

Changling Tomb: The Changling Tomb is the largest and best-preserved tomb among the thirteen. It is the final resting place of the Yongle Emperor, Zhu Di, and his Empress Xu. The tomb is renowned for its grandeur and elaborate architectural design.

Sightseeing: Visitors to the Ming Tombs can explore the Sacred Way, a long pathway flanked by statues of mythical creatures and officials. The path leads to the entrance of each tomb. While some tombs remain closed to the public, the Dingling Tomb, the underground palace of the Wanli Emperor, is open for visitors to explore.

Sorghum (Jowar) is a staple meal in India. Jowar flour is used to make parathas and rotis. In India, sorghum that has been popped is a common snack. The puffs of the popped sorghum are smaller than those of popcorn.

Sorghum can be popped in the microwave, in a pot, or in other comparable ways, just like popcorn. Additionally, it can be used to flavor clarified butter.
