From the appearance, even today, this mausoleum is amazing: the rectangular back cover is 5 15 meters long from north to south and 485 meters wide from east to west, covering an area of nearly 250,000 square meters. And half of the tombs on the mountain are 55 meters high. The original height of the Qin Shihuang Mausoleum should be 100 meters high. For more than two thousand years, man-made destruction and soil erosion have reduced the height of enclosed soil by more than half-because Sima Qian recorded that the original height of Qin Shihuang's mausoleum was "more than 50 feet". According to the current scale value, the height should be around115m.
On September 17, 2002, the whole world witnessed the process of archaeologists exploring the inner space of the pyramid through live television. When the archaeologist put the robot in through the first stone gate, he didn't expect the robot to meet another stone gate. The world-famous pyramid archaeological project had to run aground. There may be more than two doors in the pyramid underground palace. So, how many tomb gates were built in the underground palace of Qin mausoleum?
According to Sima Qian's records, Ying Zheng's mausoleum has been dug deep into the underground spring, and its base is reinforced with fine copper, with a huge coffin tomb filled with treasures. Inside the tomb, important organs are everywhere, as well as crossbows with favorable arrows. If there is a grave robber, he will be killed as soon as he approaches. In addition, the whole tomb is full of mercury, symbolizing rivers, lakes and seas; On the top of the dome-shaped tomb, there are night pearls everywhere, symbolizing the sun, the moon and the stars; In order to light the tomb, fish oil is also used to light the lamp, so that it can last forever.
So, what cultural relics are there in the mausoleum?
1, the pearl of Wei
Qin Shihuang unified the six countries by force, and all the treasures of the six countries returned to Xianyang, the capital of Qin State.
First of all, let's study what treasures the other six countries have, which is worth Qin Shihuang's starting to seize, and then bury the essence of the treasures of the six countries in his own grave.
Qi Weiwang and Wei Huiwang went out hunting and chatting together. Wei is smaller than Qi, but he has ten night pearls, one inch in diameter. At night, it can illuminate twelve cars in front and behind.
After the state of Wei was annexed by the State of Qin, 12 pearls with the same diameter and size were owned by Qin Shihuang. These twelve luminous pearls can be hung on the top of Qin Shihuang's tomb to provide light and illumination for the dark mausoleum.

Zhao Guo and Lian Po Jiabao.
No matter how the world ranks the Seven Heroes in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Lian Po, the general of Zhao State, will definitely be on the list. After the death of veteran Lian Po, his Tang Xianjia was preserved. Zhao was destroyed by Qin, and the former emperor got this treasure. After the death of Qin Shihuang, this treasure will be buried with Qin Shihuang as a trophy.
The legendary goose that lays a golden egg every day.
South Korea's crossbow South Korea is a weaker country among the Seven Heroes of the Warring States, but the crossbow it makes is feared by all countries. At that time, there was a famous saying among military scientists: "All the strong bows and crossbows in the world are from Korea." This crossbow may shoot 800 meters away, covering the chest far away and the dysprosium near. M heart. South Korea and other six countries fought many wars, and this crossbow was captured by many enemies. But no matter how you imitate it, it is impossible to reproduce the effect of "foresight and ruthlessness". If the crossbow can be found in the tomb of Qin Shihuang, I believe that through modern engineering technology and reverse engineering, the secret of "crossbow" is the best in the world can be solved.
