Dubious claim that the walls of Benin is the largest man made structure[edit]

The walls are impressive, but not even close to what makes up many man made structures, such as the power grid of Europe or North America, or the rail roads that span Europe, Asia and Africa, combined. Since it's trivial to point out examples that are far larger, I've marked the claim dubious. If there really is a reason for claiming that the walls of Benin are the largest man made structure, it has to be clarified why the railroads of Europe alone, isn't considered larger. 5.186.78.167 (talk) 18:06, 15 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
