What if The Wall was built by The Others to keep out the southerners from coming north?

Don't know if this has ever been brought up, but I find it interesting at the least. Especially in regards to magical qualities of the wall. Maybe the NW were started by The Others, and the Night's King is more important than we think...

PS: apologies for the poor grammar in the title.

Similar discussion just happened recently and people went bananas about the concept of the Others building the Wall, so best of luck to you.

Have you checked out the Heresy threads? There is great discussion about this among "heretics." :)

Coldhands can't cross the Wall because of magic that's been woven into it. If the Others built the Wall, wouldn't the magic prevent humans from crossing north, not Wights crossing south?

It's a funny concept, but not one that stands up under any kind of scrutiny.

It's a clever idea, but there really isn't any evidence for it, is there? The Others have apparently left no instructions or records behind and the Wall does not seem to prevent southerners from moving beyond it (the only reason that they don't is because it's dangerous and unpleasant, not because it is physically difficult).

If the War for the Dawn ended with a truce between Others and humans, then it might be conceivable that the Others helped to build the Wall. The benefit for them being that it severely limited human expansion into the LBtW.
