The Terracotta Warriors
The three farmers digging for wells in march 1974 had no idea what they would uncover would become one of the world's greatest wonders and mysteries.Rows upon rows of soldiers,in battle formation,dressed according to their ranks and positions in the army,standing or kneeling,ready for battle.They were burried with their emperor,Qin Shi Huang,also known as The First Emperor Qin,in 210-209BCE.They are vigilant,unique in facial features,uniforms and physical attributes,just as they might have been in real life,not a few but all 8.099 of them!
According to ancient texts and legends,under the Emperor'r tomb,there lies an entire necropolis of cities,oceans,rivers of mercury and even the sky complete with the celestial constellations.But how does one build underground rivers that are flowing for thousands of years?
The answer is mercury and to add to the bafflement of researchers,scientific evidence has proved very high levels of mercury underground.
