So Trump is not the first to build a wall. What?

"Remnants of structures, now destroyed, are visible in places along the wall. These may have been associated turrets [small towers] or buildings," wrote Alibaigi, noting that the wall itself is made from "natural local materials, such as cobbles and boulders, with gypsum mortar surviving in places."

The Sumerians built a large wall to the East of Ur in an effort to discourage Amorite raiders and migration. It didn’t have much effect apparently.
true, think this wall dates to the Greco-Roman Persian period, 4th century BC to 6th century AD, pre Islamic I guess
