"An emperor who fears death but creates an immortal army."
"An emperor who fears death but creates an immortal army."
Qin Four Huangty (259-210 BC)
A wise and paranoid emperor, he united the regions of the state era.
Build early Chinese city walls, and design a system of letters, currency, and units of measure.
That is standard throughout the kingdom.
But what makes him a legend is his obsession with "immortality."
Fear of death to the point of finding an elixir: Qin Four Huangty was so afraid of death that he sent a defector.
And explorers went around the country looking for "elixirs."
There is a funny story that he took a drug made of mercury because it was believed to make him immortal.
But the last turned out to be a poison that might have hastened his death faster!
Terracotta Military Army: To Protect Yourself in the Next World, Qin Four Huangty Ordered the Creation of Terracotta Military Army
Tens of thousands of real people buried in his cemetery near Xi'an.
Each has the same face and demeanor (like a premium craft!).
There were thousands of soldiers, horses, chariots, and even terracotta lords built with craftsmanship.
And it took almost 40 years, and originally, all the statues were colorful only in clothes divided by position.
But when it was discovered, the color hit the air in modern times, causing chemical reactions and fading.
What's amazing is that this cemetery was accidentally discovered in 1974 by a farmer who dug a well!
Secrets of the Cemetery: The Tombs of the Qin Four Huangty have not been entirely excavated, because archaeologists fear that
Will destroy valuables, plus current technology cannot be completely preserved or unearthed.
And there's a legend that the cemetery has a replica of the "Mercury River" inside.
To mimic the terrain of China! There are also many traps.
Like a crossbow ready to shoot an intruder (like in an adventure movie).
It is said that Qin Four Huangty once burned books and buried wise men alive for fear of Confucian ideas.
And other philosophies will challenge his authority, calling it the great "knowledge ban" in history!
He also designed all carriages in China to have the same wheel rail size.
To make it more convenient to operate roads throughout the kingdom.
