Despite being there for more than 2,000 years, after his death on September 10, 210 BC (CN), the first Chinese emperor was able to avoid any annoying interference from his post-mortem. The tomb is said to hold all the answers about the secrets that have not been answered by history, but so far no modern people have ever observed inside this place, and that is not just dependent into the Beijing government but also scientifically.

Qin Shihuang's mausoleum was carefully explored to avoid unnecessary destruction.

Qin Shi Huang was born in 259 BC, enrolled in history with the unification of China from six vassal states, ending more than 200 years of war and turmoil. At death, buried in the most complicated tomb ever built in China. Located north of Ly Son Mountain, Shaanxi Province, it is an intricately submerged architectural block, containing everything the emperor needs for 'life' after death. The ancient Chinese, like many other cultures, including the Egyptians, believed that objects, even those buried with the dead, would follow him down to the castle. However, instead of burying the army, the lady, the eunuch, Emperor Qin decided to use the clay statue instead.

In 1974, some farmers digging wells near Xi'an were surprised to find one of the most shocking findings in archaeological history. After the first real-sized statue of soldiers, they discovered an army with thousands of other statues, each with its own characteristics, from clothes, hair and facial expressions. For nearly four decades, archaeologists worked continuously in this place. So far, they have found about 2,000 statues of soldiers, but experts estimate there must be more than 8,000 total statues. However, scientists have yet to touch the central tomb, where the palace contains the body of Qin Shihuang.

'The big hill where the emperor was buried - no one had ever touched it , ' NBC News quoted archaeologist Kristin Romey, an advisor to a clay war exhibition in New York City. According to him, partly because Chinese people respect their ancestors, but the bigger reason is that no technology in the world can now penetrate and explore this place. When exploring King Tut's tomb in Egypt in 1922, the scientists at that time broke apart so much that valuable information was given by archaeological techniques in the 1930s, and many other examples. Returning to the Chinese case, the excavation of the main grave depends on the government of the country. When digging up the first statues nearly 40 years ago, the outer layer of the statue peeled off immediately when exposed to light, but now everything has gone into place after experts found a way to preserve the statue.

Ancient historians once recorded Qin Shihuang creating a kingdom and an underground palace, with tomb arches imitating the night sky, and pearls as stars. The phenomenon of female bows has not been found, although experts say they are located somewhere in the tomb. And Qin Shihuang's tomb is said to be surrounded by liquid mercury rivers, believed by ancient people to be able to hold immortality. There are also reports that the emperor died of swallowing mercury in the hope of longevity, causing Qin to die at the age of 39, leaving a vast kingdom for his children to destroy. It was also because of this suspicion that archaeologists were reluctant to touch the central part of the tomb, and considered the possible losses when entering the territory of the ancient emperor.'After all, archeology is a devastating science. You have to destroy the object so you can study them , 'Romey concluded.
