Nikiesha, there are many tales that claim people who died for building the wall were buried in/under the wall. However, I haven't found any historical record regarding of this.

Apparently bones of the workers were mixed into the mortar along with roughly 4% sticky rice. This is apparently one reason for the wall being so sturdy.
