The video I chose is about Hadrian's walls in North Africa. Hadrian was a successful Roman emperor and lead conquests in North Africa. He strategically built walls in North Africa to protected farms and vegetation. His wall marked the southern boundary of the massive Roman Empire. The difference between Hadrian's wall in parts of Europe and those in North Africa, was that in Africa Hadrian used Natural boundaries such as mountains and desert to protect his kingdom. Using North Africa's geographical layout and man made walls he was successfully had full control of who could enter his kingdom.

I think it is awesome that parts of the walls are still standing. The most amazing part is that Hadrian used natural geography to his advantage. Being from Europe and not having technology at his disposal it is possible that he had never seen a desert before. But he was still able to use the desert and mountains to protect his kingdom.
