In the previous article, I talked about the Great Caucasian Wall, which was also called the dam of Gog and Magog. The same name was given to another Great Wall - the Chinese one. According to many sources, it is believed that this dam was built by Alexander the Great. He built this dam or wall in order to protect the people living in the south from the wild northern peoples of Gog and Magog. And to prevent their advance to the southern promised lands.
But logically, if you look at it, why is it not named after him, if he built it? And why is it named after the enemy, or the name of the one from whom it protects? This is the same as, for example, calling the Great Patriotic War Hitler's, on the grounds that it was fought with Hitler's troops, under his leadership.
Both of these famous walls run along the border between the peoples of Gog and Magog.

Maybe they were called the same because they are parts of the same wall? There is a version (or a proven fact?) That this wall runs through the entire Eurasian continent, crossing it from West to East:

The European section of this wall is called the Roman Border Rampart (Limes)
This is the scheme given by Western researchers:
Border of the Roman Empire.
The red line on the map shows the border of the Roman Empire, black triangles - the preserved Roman forts.

So, we see that this barrier structure included a road. Which, in general, is logical. How else to build it? Without any roads, without the possibility of transporting the necessary material and labor resources.
The most western point of this wall is the Antonina rampart.

And a more collapsed section of the wall:
By the way, magogs also lived in these places! But more on that later.
Offa's Dyke
The word dyke, by the way, means “dam”, not defensive fortification. Its layout:
And this is how it looks now:
Offa's Dyke.
Officially, Offa's rampart was not part of the Roman border rampart, as it was built later. Approximately 600 years according to the official version, although in appearance you cannot tell. Apparently, the further into the past, the less significant the difference between hundreds of years becomes.
Further, the preserved continental parts of the wall.

This is how it looked before:

Trajan's Shafts

Although the wall is called Trajan, it was not built during the reign of Trajan, but later. In addition, it is quite possible that not the Romans built it:
Here is another Romanian rampart named after the mythical Roman hero:
Brazda lui Novac or Constantine's Wall.
In fact, this Great Eurasian Wall was not one continuous line. It looked more like spaghetti, as did its easternmost stretch.
For example:
Various walls in Romania, Moldova and Ukraine.
The dotted lines on the map show various walls called Limes and Wall. But nevertheless, the trend of the West-East direction is traced, which will be seen below.
