The Tomb of Shi Huangdi The discovery of the Terra-Cotta Army in China in 1974 was a spectacular find. Though many soldier and horses have been found guarding the tomb, archaeologists have not yet opened the actual tomb of Shi Huangdi. The tomb said to be located under Mount Li is guarded by this army, and is said to be filled with riches, stones, a roof made of copper and studded with diamonds, and miniature silver and gold ducks and geese. The tomb has not yet been opened because Chinese archaeologists are taking care to protect the objects within, because they may not have enough funds, and possibly because they are concerned about booby traps set by the tomb builders. What's inside the unopened tomb of Qin Shi Huang? |
