The unreal thing is that are are probably more sites of those that haven’t been unearthed around the tomb yet.

Plus the main tomb is by some considered the most valuable grave in the world. It was buried under a mountain of dirt after he died. From reports, the tomb’s ceiling is incrusted with jewels to look like the night sky. The chinese at the time believed mercury was a cure all and the emporer would consume it believing it healed any ailments. Ofcourse we all know what consuming large amounts of mercury can do to you. Anyway around his small mosuleum were the body lay, the floor was a large map of the world and all the ocean area was filled with mercury that flowed like the oceans. The say its easily the size of a football field.

Wow! I had never heard that about the tomb! It sounds like something out of the Arabian Nights or some Western European fairy tales!
