Sand storms in northwest China's Gansu Province are reducing sections of Great Wall to mounds of dirt and may cause them to disappear in about 20 years, according to archaeological experts.

Zhou Shengrui, former curator of the Minqin County museum, said that a national survey in the 1980s recorded more than 60 kilometers of Great Wall in the county. He reported that this section of the wall was rapidly disappearing.

It's very sad that we're losing such famous piece of history.
