Shihuangdi built a terracotta army, which included 6 thousand statues of warriors, housed in a 56-square-kilometer mausoleum. There also found a giant palace the size of 1/4 of the “Forbidden City” in the capital of the Celestial Empire.

The find lay at a depth of 16 meters. If we believe the notes of the historian S. Qian, Prince Gao, who is the owner of the tomb, asked his own brother to send himself to the afterlife to his father.
