Suspicion is a son and Qin Shihuang's frequency

The face-building technology recreates the portraits of two people suspected of being the son and frequency of Qin Shihuang, massacred 2,300 years ago.

Chinese researchers set up the face of a young man and woman, possibly one of the many sons and frequencies of Qin Shihuang, the first Chinese emperor, South China Morning Post. July 14 reported.

The decayed remains of a woman of about 20 years of age were found in a compartment of 100 graves in the tomb of Qin Shihuang emperor in Xi'an, China, home of fame. All the remains in the grave are young women. Based on the rankings and burial found, the archaeological group thinks they may be the emperor's and the servant's servants. Some of the remains were decomposed and placed outside the hallway leading to the grave which is believed to contain the bodies of the pilots.

Researchers speculate that women who are killed in ritual ceremonies after the emperor's death and evidence show that the executioner does not care about age or title. The archaeological group set up the face of a woman with a high title in the grave, possibly an emperor's emperor.

According to the photo, the woman has big eyes, tall and long nose bridge. Portraits built on a computer use deep learning algorithms and anatomy databases to reconstruct facial features, though details of hairstyles and eye colors can only be guessed. Similar technology is also applied in criminal investigation by Chinese police.

The woman's face is not typical of Han people. The team speculated that the woman had ancestors in Central Asia or even Europe, a controversial possibility among scholars.

In northwestern Shaanxi Province is the largest tomb on the planet. The structures on the ground and underground spread over 56 km 2 , 78 times more in Beijing. The world-famous tomb with terracotta army, but the core architecture is a 76-meter-high pyramid mound, containing the emperor's coffin and almost unexplored treasure.

The team found the skull of a man from a separate grave in Shangjiao village in the eastern periphery of the tomb. A bronze arrowhead that plugs into the temporal bone on the right side of the skull reveals how the man died. The head and limbs are cut off from the body and placed on the lid of the treasure chest in the casket.

The remains of other young men and women in nearby tombs were also identified in the same way. They were buried with many precious artifacts, including ceramics, jade jewelry, silk, bronze, silver and gold, representing high titles. Some researchers believe that the remains may be members of the royal family murdered in a large-scale purge that occurred shortly after Emperor Qin Shihuang died.

The man may be the Qin prince about 30 years old, with almond-shaped eyes and big nose. Li Kang, associate professor at the School of Information and Technology at Northeast University, Xi'an, where the development of facial recognition software is very confident in the results. Technology has been tested and widely applied by the Ministry of Public Security in criminal investigations.

But the results sparked much controversy among archaeologists. Two faces, especially portraits of women, show racial differences compared to the typical Chinese faces. Some researchers speculate that women with Western backgrounds may be Persian or European, while others think this is unlikely.

Professor Zhang Weixing, the scientist who directed the program to restore the face, the research leader of the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang, shared that he did not think the woman looked like a Westerner. 'It's still too early to draw conclusions when there is no more definitive evidence,' Zhang said.

The museum has planned to conduct DNA testing on remains and hopes to find more evidence of racial composition in the Qin palace. According to Zhang, not all archaeologists believe the remains belong to boys and the frequency of Emperor Qin Shihuang. They argue that it could also be a former dynasty or mandarin.

Emperor Qin Shihuang dominates one of the most powerful armies in the ancient world and conquered all rival nations, unifying China. Soldiers under his command are known for their strict discipline and armed with the most advanced weapons of the day, including bows and arrows that can fire up to 800 meters away.

Qin Shihuang did not ordained a queen but chose a lot of beautiful girls in the country as a frequency. These frequency bands gave birth to about 40 princes and princesses, according to Tu Ma Thien, a historian under the Han Dynasty, who records 100 years later.

After Qin Shihuang died in 210 BC, his second son, Ho Hoi, usurped the throne by hiding the death of his father and the preacher. After that, Ho Hoi ordered all non-born babies to die. According to Sima Qian, many female bows are buried in the tomb. Some notes said they were buried alive but there was no evidence of authenticity. Next, Ho Hoi purged the sisters out of fear that they would question the saints only for the throne.

18 princesses were publicly executed and their bodies were stained in the street while four princesses were forced to commit suicide. Ho Hoi does not spare any princess. The history of Sima Qian records that 10 princesses were subjected to a scene of ransom. A total of more than 30 sons and daughters of Qin Shihuang were slaughtered in the purge.

Some historians describe this as the worst royal murder in Chinese history. Ho Hoi himself only stayed for three years before suffering from death. The Qin Dynasty quickly collapsed.
