in fact human sacrifice continued sporadically in some succeeding Chinese dynasties but in a very small scale. Often when the emperor died, some of his empress and concubines were forced to sacrifice to serve the emperor in the afterlife. But it was too cruel and it was banned in many Chinese dynasties and restored by some tyrant emperor for very short period of time and banned again. In the Tang dynasty (5-8th century, all the harem needed to become Buddhist nuns and be sent to Buddhist temples when the emperor died.

So you are trying to tell me that CHINESE. the most moneyhungry culture that is led no more by human emotions and compasion but only with money and hunger for power. Would not open last chamber with greatest treasure of astronomical value and proportion just because it could be damaged?
They' spend millions to get it no matter what. if it was there. but it isn't. it's just marketing gimmick to get more money from the mystery and legend

Regent: sooo you want a terracotta army in your burial sir?
Emperor: yes that is correct.
In the afterlife
Emperor: Why ain't my army moving?
Other dead nobilities: what were they made of?
Emperor: clay.
Other dead nobilities: that sums it up then my friend.

great way to keep the people employed, haha
same about the colors fading, so why not build a vacuumed room in front the his tomb and than go in. because that's not what China would and they just forgot to share with the rest of the world what they've found. ;D

What if the purpose of the statues and underground location was an attempt at preserving a record of life in those days like a museum?
