There are many forms of human protection and with multiple means to support these forms. The forms of protection have always been associated with the establishment of cities since the beginning of human history; Walls are the most common form of this protection.

Walls have very particular reasons to exist, they are used for hiding, fortification or to masquerade power or pride. Walls can be physical or moral. Walls can carry deep significance and portray strong illusions for humankind. Man has constructed walls since the dawn of this earth for walls possess the effect to arouse thoughts of war and conflict between kingdoms within the human imagination.
