  The Tomb of Emperor Qinshihuang
 


Emperor Qinshihuang (259-210B.C.), Yingzheng, founded the first feudal empire in Chinese history after annexing the 6 Kingdoms of Qi, Chu, Yan, Han, Zhao and Wei in 221B.C. He began to have his tomb that took 38 years built once he came into power, levying more than 700 thousand culprits. 


The tomb is in the east of the Lintong County. It is 35 kilometers from the Xian City. As surveyed, it hasn't been robbed off. As recorded in 'Shiji' (Record of the History), there were water and silver in the tomb to represent all the rivers and seas. With the development of the technology, especially the archeological technology, the palace and the treasury under the earth of the tomb will see the light again.
