Travel back to Ancient China as Calum Macdonald and Kerry Anne Macleod continue to bring history to life with fun facts, animations and experiments which show how inventions and discoveries from ancient times helped shape our everyday lives.
For thousands of years China was completely cut off from the rest of the world by vast mountains and deserts. The people didn't know the rest of the world existed and got on with inventing all sorts of things to make their lives easier, like the wheelbarrow and an earthquake detector.
Today's first History Hunters challenge is to build a mini wall, whilst looking to the Great Wall of China for inspiration. The Ancient Chinese made paper with bamboo plants so our History Hunters have a go at producing their own paper. For a modern twist, they'll be making recycled paper and adding bark to the mix.
In the studio, Calum and Kerry Anne try to figure out how an abacus works.
