My comment over there:

"who reigned from 210 to 221 BC" - Shouldn't that be from 221 to 210 BC? Which comes to 11 years.

Then the article says "resulting in his demise at 50 after a 37-year reign.".

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

It is a poorly written article more than likely.

Others have weighed in on that error.

From the photo above, they are incredibly well preserved.

FRA: it is disclosed that the tomb was rigged with traps intended to thwart any intruders. -snip- the historian asserted that a deluge of toxic liquid mercury awaited those who dared to desecrate the tomb

Remember that Indiana Jones was shot at by arrows and chased after by a giant rolling stone.

Made in Japan? Just joking. I’ve seen some of these soldier statues on display at the Smithsonian Institution. Extremely impressive works of sculpture/clay figurines.
