The Great Wall of China is a stone wall that is approximately 13,170 miles long.
It is the last remnant of the outer retaining wall of the Ancient Temple in Jerusalem, which was destroyed in the year 70 CE.

This is a little difficult to answer. The Western Wall is not like a city wall that has air on both sides of stacked stone, it is rather the edge of a retaining wall the supports an entire palisade of raised stone. The stones of the wall proper are about 1-1.5 meters thick, but there are additional layers of stone that directly abut the Western Wall that continue up to Old City walls.
Granular materials such as gravel or crushed stone are ideal for backfilling a retaining wall as they provide good drainage and stability. Make sure to compact the material in layers to prevent settling and ensure proper support for the wall. Avoid using materials that can retain moisture, which could lead to wall failure.

A retaining wall is a structure that holds backsoil or rock from a building, structure or area. Retaining walls prevent downslope movement or erosion and provide support for vertical or near-vertical grade changes. Cofferdams and bulkheads, structures that hold back water, are sometimes also considered retaining walls. Retaining walls are generally made of masonry, stone,brick, concrete, vinyl,steel or timber. Once popular as an inexpensive retaining material, railroad ties have fallen out of favor due to environmentalconcerns.A counterfort retaining wall is generally a catilever wall with additional support, often in the form of a cable or anchor acting as a 'brace' at specified intervals
