No, it was a specific tribe.

However there were “barbarian” tribes near China named the Dzungar and the Xiongu, both of which are a bit like “Hun” and either of which are suggested to perhaps be the eastern side of that same tribe.

Same two guys were just at Sycamore Gap in England, what a weird coincidence to get the same assignment twice!

The tourist-y parts of it are pretty much all newly rebuilt anyway; there’s not much of the original wall left at Mutianyu or Simatai or wherever.

Now there’s even less of the original wall.

The whole point of that dumb thought experiment is that it’s already the Ship of Theseus and always was.
