The Secret Tomb of China's First Emperor

Despite being involved in one of the greatest archaeological discoveries of all time, the tomb of China's first emperor, Qin Shi Huang, remains largely sealed up and unexplored by archaeologists and historians. For thousands of years, the tomb's strange and deadly history was sealed within and buried beneath vegetation.
The two decades following 218 BC saw the Mediterranean in turmoil as the Roman Republic went to war with the Carthaginians. In contrast, the Far East experienced relative stability during this period, as a unified China emerged from the chaos of the Warring States Period. Qin Shi Huang was the man who brought the seven warring states together to form China's first imperial dynasty. The first Chinese emperor was equally obsessed with life and the afterlife. Thousands of workers at that time were made to build one of the world’s biggest mortuary complexes.
The mausoleum is a vast tomb complex which covers an area of 6.3 square kilometers or 3.9 square miles, and which is centered around a tumulus. The tomb was surrounded by an underground moat of poisonous mercury. Inside the tomb, archaeological research found three sizable underground chambers (known as "pits") containing broken pieces of terracotta warrior.
