Qin Shi Huang is always looking for the way to immortality for his life, but unfortunately still can’t find a way. So he decided to build a magnificent palace underground and that is also the tomb after his death. One of the mysteries surrounding the tomb of Qin Shi Huang discovered by scientists is the extremely large amount of mercury inside. Many conjectures say that the amount of mercury in the underground palace can be up to several tons, even hundreds of tons, which is why grave thieves cannot enter. Many questions arise, what is the real function of this mercury? Is it for anti-theft as inferred? According to research on the history before the time of Qin Shi Huang, scientists did not find mercury to have much effect, and only detected a small amount of mercury in the type of mummification. The original hypothesis was that mercury could act as an anti-corrosion agent. But when discovered in the underground palace, a relatively closed insulation layer is formed due to the function of mercury. Many other opinions say that Qin Shi Huang used mercury to prevent theft. However, when returning to the history of the time when Qin Shi Huang unified China, people’s understanding of the uses and harms of mercury was not known. It wasn’t until the Han Dynasty that people began to know that mercury contained toxic substances. The river of mercury inside the tomb. The final conclusion was reached, the reason why Qin Shi Huang used a large amount of mercury in his tomb to prevent his body from rotting due to its anti-corrosion function. With the large amount of mercury in the tomb, his coffin was left in the riverbed for a long time while still remaining remarkably intact. Maybe Qin Shi Huang still holds the hope that one day in the future, he will wake up. This is even more important than theft prevention. How deep is the tomb? The most recent survey of archaeologists has shown that the underground tomb of Qin Shi Huang is 260m long from east to west and 160m wide from north to south. The total area is 41,600 m2. This is the largest mausoleum in the Qin and Han dynasties, its size is equivalent to 5 international football fields. Later archaeologists used a drill and proved that this tomb was designed vertically. Sima Thien once said, the length of this tomb is longer than 3 rivers combined. According to the book “Rites of the Han Dynasty”, the end of this tomb is immeasurable. That proves that the tomb has reached the deepest possible depth with the level of science and technology at that time. But how deep the tomb really is, no one has the exact answer. The Mystery of the Terracotta Warrior According to unofficial records, Xiang Yu – the king of the Zhou state, who overthrew the Qin empire, ended up perishing at the hands of the “Terquered Army”. He was eliminated by five cavalrymen on the banks of the Wujiang River. They were Qin soldiers from the Guanzhong region and were used as prototypes for Qin Shi Huang’s Terracotta Cavalry. Does the tomb have “9 floors of hell”? Looking down from above, you can clearly see, the pyramid is square, so the Americans call it “dwarf pyramid”. Paradoxically, the inverted pyramidal shape of the mound seems to coincide with the saying “9 floors of hell” and this is completely unique in the world. Qin Shi Huang is a freak, this mystery can only seem to be revealed by archaeological discoveries. How many entrances does the Tomb of Qin Shi Huang have? According to “History of Sima Qian”, a great history book written by Sima Qian: When the emperor died, he was taken to the tomb. After that, the main door was closed and the outer gate was also completely closed. All the craftsmen were buried with the emperor. “This proves that the tomb has three gates: the outer gate, the central gate and a secret gate. It is believed that the middle gate was locked automatically to prevent any intrusion from the inside or outside. And the three doors are placed in a straight line.”

The tombs will be built in a place where astronomy and geography are combined, showing the superior wisdom of the ancients. In China, there are many mysterious tombs that until now remain the inexplicable mysteries of the world. And until now when they lost their grave is still a mystery that scientists want to understand because of the mysteries inside. Those tombs are all solidly built, the owner of the tomb has spent a lot of effort to set up a complex complex of tombs that when approached there are many dangers for those who want to explore them. . Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor Dubbed the impregnable tomb. According to Ancient Origins, 2,200 years ago, Emperor Qin Shi Huang was the first to unify China, after the Warring States period. Qin Shi Huang constantly sent people to find the elixir of life, but was also busy in building his own tomb. A 2017 study by Chinese archaeologists, based on ancient texts, shows that China’s first emperor always wanted to live forever. Ancient documents say that local officials reported not finding the elixir of life, but the search will continue. Elsewhere there is a mysterious herb that may be effective. Tomb of Qin Shi Huang was discovered more than 40 years ago, but so far has not been excavated. In fact, the construction of Qin Shi Huang’s tomb began before he ascended the throne. When he came to power at the age of 13, he immediately built an eternal resting place. But it was only when Qin Shi Huang became emperor that the process of building the tomb was accelerated and expanded. An estimated 700,000 people were involved in the construction of the mausoleum in Shaanxi province, which took 38 years to complete. It is worth mentioning that the mausoleum was only really completed after the death of Qin Shi Huang. Today, information about the Chinese emperor’s tomb is found in the records of the historian of the Han Dynasty, Sima Qian. It was a burial chamber filled with rare treasures collected from all over. Inside the place where Qin Shi Huang’s remains are located, there are also models of large and small rivers on the ground, which look real thanks to mercury. Sima Thien also mentioned the night sky sparkling with moonlight from the glowing pearls used to decorate the dome of the tomb. In order to protect the mausoleum and help the emperor rest in eternal peace, the ancients built a series of traps including bows and crossbows, automatic arrows, etc. These weapons were designed to be able to kill anyone. anyone dares to trespass. Qin Shi Huang’s son also ordered to bury the childless concubines with his father, so that he could continue with him in the afterlife. After the funeral was over, the entrance to the tomb was sealed off. The people involved in the construction work were also locked inside so that no one could reveal the secret to the outside. Finally, plants were planted on the mausoleum to form an artificial hill. It wasn’t until 2,000 years later that a group of Chinese farmers stumbled upon a terracotta warrior. Large-scale excavations revealed a 2,000-man terracotta army. But that’s just the outside of the mausoleum. Archaeologists predict as many as 8,000 terracotta statues inside the emperor’s eternal resting place, which have never been excavated. China currently has no plans to excavate the tomb of Qin Shi Huang. Because more than 2,200 years have passed, it is likely that the pitfalls are still active. Another concern is the very high levels of mercury in the planet Earth. Mercury is inherently a toxic substance that threatens human life even in very small concentrations. In addition, current technology cannot help explore the vast ancient tomb area. Just exposing the artifacts to sunlight and air is enough to destroy them completely. Experts say that recklessly excavating Qin Shi Huang’s resting place could damage the balance of the underground structure, causing unpredictable losses. That is why China has so far not ventured to open the tomb seal. Tomb of Genghis Khan Dubbed the tomb not found. Legend has it that, before his death, Genghis Khan gave orders not to let others know the location of his tomb. That’s why he performed the secret burial. This secret funeral has been effective when after nearly 800 years of history, the resting place of the Mongol emperor Genghis Khan is still shrouded in secrecy. Over hundreds of years, many expeditions, archaeologists, tens of thousands of volunteers have made many journeys to find the location of the tomb of this legendary khan, but until today Today, the tomb of Genghis Khan remains a mystery. To this day, even the exact location of the tomb of Genghis Khan is still unknown According to explorer Marco Polo, when burying Genghis Khan’s coffin, the people carrying the coffin were killed, the tomb was buried deep below, in the middle of a large land, leaving no trace. All the grave diggers were also executed. It is hypothesized that the tomb of Genghis Khan in the Otog period belonged to the town of Ordos, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. Another theory is that his grave is at Lu Ban Mountain in Ningxia Autonomous Region and a third is located in Altai Mountain, north of Xinjiang. Tomb of Vo Tac Thien It is known as the tomb that cannot be dug. Wu Zetian’s Tomb is located in Liangshan in Can County, Shaanxi Province, China. Inside the tomb there are countless treasures, so it has been visited by many tomb thieves, according to historical records, a total of 17 times the tomb was stolen, and there are countless times that are not recorded. Qianling, the resting place of Wu Zetian and Emperor Gaozong, is located on the top of Liangshan Mountain, now becoming a famous architectural work in Qian County, Shaanxi Province, China. In which, there are 3 most prominent tomb robbers. The first time was Huang Chao of the Tang Dynasty: to develop the army, Huang Chao sent an army of 400,000 people to dig the tomb of Wu Zetian, he quickly leveled half of the Liangshan mountain, but could not find it. the entrance to the tomb. The second time was the warlord Wen Tao of the Five Dynasties period, in order to complete the goal of stealing “18 tombs of the Tang Dynasty”, he also intended to dig Wu Zetian’s grave, but he constantly encountered bad weather. strange while preparing to steal the grave, scared the soldiers so much that they quickly ran away. The third time was when Sun Lien Trong during the Kuomintang sent the army to dig the grave, when he was about to go inside, 7 soldiers vomited blood and died on the spot in a very strange way. Today, the huge Tomb of Wu Zetian is visible in front of his eyes, attracting millions of visitors, but has not been excavated, so this is considered one of the most mysterious tombs in China.
