"This is a tomb"
Construction of this mausoleum began in 246 BC and is believed to have taken 700,000 workers and craftsmen 38 years to complete. Qin Shi Huang di was interred inside the tomb complex upon his death in 210 BC. According to the Grand Historian Sima Qian (145 BC-90 BC), the First Emperor was buried alongside great amounts of treasure and objects of craftsmanship, as well as a scale replica of the universe complete with gemmed ceilings representing the cosmos, and flowing mercury representing the great earthly bodies of water. Pearls were also placed on the ceilings in the tomb to represent the stars, planets, etc. Recent scientific work at the site has shown high levels of mercury in the soil of Mount Lishan, tentatively indicating an accurate description of the site’s contents by historian Sima Qian.
Got this from a random blog.
Ok so I'm a nerd. It is not a friggin crime. Just watched this documentary (yesh a 17+ year old still watches documentaries & not porno) abt the first emperor of China. & can you believe his tomb is a whole friggin mountain of terracotta armies (7.5K unique soldiers) & a supposed tomb of pure bronze, with a map of his empire reflected on metal which is then surrounded by rivers & seas of mercury (yes all you chem people,the same stuff in the thermometers)
I am so jealous.
& I am totally disgusted by the childish acts of some people who just wants to rub in into my face.
