Summary

In 221 BC, after a swift and brutal campaign of reunification, the king of the Qin nation declared himself sole ruler over the lands that would later become modern-day China. Giving himself the title of Shi Huangdi, or “First Emperor”. For nearly two thousand years a majority of the records and descriptions the world had of the first emperor of China were from sources 100 years after his rise to power and rule. An entire era lost to time. But from one of the most referenced texts from the dynasty that followed the Qin, the Han dynasty, there was the description of the First Emperor’s lost tomb. A magnificent complex and structure unmatched by anything in the known world. Rivers of flowing mercury, torches fed by mermaid oil, treasures gathered from all the corners of the realm to be laid with the first Emperor. Once thought only to exist in legend, it wouldn't be until 1974 that villagers digging wells would uncover lifelike clay warriors buried in the earth that would point to the lost tomb of the Dragon Emperor. This case file, join the Theorists as they get their hands on a whole lotta’ terracotta within...The Tomb of Qin Shi Huang
