Fascinating Facts About China's Terracotta Army

Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1
Qin Shi Huang, the first emperor of China, built the huge Terracotta Army to protect him in the afterlife. An elaborate tomb complex in Xi'an, the city-size compound came equipped with everything the emperor would require in the afterlife. Like the Egyptians, the ancient Chinese believed the items they took with them to the grave would accompany them into the afterlife. But instead of burying actual people with him underground, the emperor created clay reproductions of warriors, servants, horses, and other objects. An incredible feat of design, the army also features a number of ancient Chinese inventions, many of which no one realized dated back as far as the Qin dynasty

My parents was born in a village just couple miles from this place. I have been there when I was in elementary school, I still remember it was a school travel and the ticket only cost two or three rmb (50cents) for each student. But I was too young to know the history, so I didnt have much feelings about this amazing work. As i grow up and reading a lot history about that mystery time, I just want to visit it again! Also the actual tomb of qinshihuang is quite near to this place, but it hasnt been discovered yet, cause there might be a lot of mercury and we dont have advanced technology to fully protect the artefact while discovering. That tomb is enormous, its just like a underground huge palace. But I dont think I can witnesses it been discovered in my life.

Man, China used to be so great. We hate the mainland Chinese now but the ancient Chinese were really the very definition of Asian excellence. Sure they were snooty, wily, rude to us other Asians, and had superioity complex, but I guess it could be somewhat justified back then. But just look at China now all that's left of the ancient civilization is the greed and corruption (and the rudeness. I wonder if we'll see them rise in a positive way again. At the rate they're going right now, it seems more like they're headed towards eternal infamy.

The fact that scientists thought the saddle was not invented at that time, and the discovery of the saddle in the tomb shows that many scientific theories are highly inaccurate. Thus, other scientific theories with little or no evidence are also inaccurate. Ex: early migration of native am to the americas, Columbus as the 1st person in the americas, evolution of man kind, etc.

Since these sculptures seem to be unique in China, the obvious question is, how did the sculptors learn this craft? Was there any influence from foreign cultures with sophisticated sculptured arts? I'm disappointed that this video never mentioned that possibility.

They were created to house the spirits of the real Warrior's who fought for their Country and Emperor to pass into the next life to protect the re-incarnated Emperor. Where is the Emperor now? That is the real
Question.

A bunch of people were unwillingly buried there to keep the secret. Also, there are several more pits and the burial mound that have yet to be excavated until a way to better preserve the contents is developed.

Assuming for a minute that the part about the mercury is true, with mining technology being what it was back then, how the heck would anyone even get their hands on that much mercury?

What this shows me is that human beings are inherently Bat shit insane. All time and effort that went into these silly things and then they were buried. BAT SHIT CRAZY.

2: 38 most modern historians don't believe the ability of Chinese to reproduce and forgotten overpopulation in China. Pandemic emerges when Gaia needs to clense.

Qin didnt fight with qi because they have a pact that qi will accept qin as the sole emperor of a unified china and qi will be incorporated as a district under qin.
reply

Qin Shi Huang was extremely paranoid and so the reforms initiated were ultimately very good but in the end the empire he tried to unify collapsed soon after.

Great Zimbabwe ruins. That has a fascinating, if somewhat mysterious, back story. It is the only structure of its kind in the whole of Africa

I wonder why ancient Chinese armies and generals need horses since they can easily fly and jumping between trees, even between bamboo leafs.

When I was in elementary school this kid brought in actual soldiers from the terracotta army that his grandmother bought on a trip
reply

Nice of him not to have thousands of people killed and buried with him. At least it was just the workers who were buried alive
