King Chin She Huang was the starting point of the Great Wall of China, which stands tall with a long history as the border and defence wall of the country.
In the third century BC, Emperor Xin She Huang, who ruled over the unified Chinese territory, was involved in expanding China's borders.
The emperor who had many desires not only had the desire to live in Sagavara but also sent one of his ministers abroad to search for the magic potion.
Thousands of flint figures
The minister never returned till the end. He continued to drink mercury sulphide after hearing that ancient kings and monks lived for 10,000 years. As a result, he died at the age of 49.
In 1974, thousands of flint figurines were unearthed underground in Shanxi Province, China. It was also revealed that these figures were Chin She Huang's soldiers.
The figures of these soldiers suspended in the hollows made of bricks in the interiors are very special. Everyone has got a uniqueness. Mustache faces were created using 10 basic shapes.
The figures were placed in the British Museum in September 2007.
Researchers have revealed many surprising facts and stories behind the creation of these statues.
Xin Shae Huang could not live as an emperor for the rest of his life without getting his fortune. Thus he started building this empire underground with the intention of ruling even after his death.
The 8,000 figures of this unearthed soldier to guard and keep secrets safe around the tomb he began to build for himself.
To this day, the tomb of Emperor Xin She Huang remains closed. Astrologers say that if this tomb is opened, great destruction will befall the world.
They say that during an attempt to excavate this subterranean burial garden, the varnish applied to the flint figures came off within 15 seconds of exposure to wind, causing irreparable damage if the tomb was opened.
According to a historian living in the second century BC, mercury was poured in large quantities around the king's tomb buried in the cemetery garden.
According to him, the current scientific studies confirm the presence of mercury in the soil at that location. However, how the excess mercury was obtained remains a matter of conjecture.
If this mercury is high, it becomes dangerous to enter the place. It is also unclear whether mechanical arrows are placed along the path leading from the entrance to the mausoleum to where the emperor's body lies, and whether the arrows are inoperable or chrome-plated and in good condition.
