Is there a particular reason for even doing that?

I saw that on my last trip to China. AMAZING!

They are life size and each with a different face.

The emperor himself dedicated a considerable portion of his life to pursuing a legendary elixir of immortality—a quest many believed in fervently. He embarked on extensive journeys searching for this mythical potion, even dispatching a unique expedition to locate a legendary island rumored to hold vast quantities of this miraculous elixir. Seeing himself as a deity and coveting eternal life, he resorted to consuming a concoction of mercury, hoping it would confer immortality. Ironically, this potion proved to be his undoing, resulting in his demise at 50 after a 37-year reign.

Even thousands of years ago, listening to your best doctors' advice was deadly.

Journolista idiots can’t even get BC years correct anymore.
It would be 221 BC to 210 BC.

They’re afraid because too many of them saw “The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor.”

Maybe they suspect they’d encounter some demonic hordes imprisoned there and are afraid of unleashing them.

The foremost reason for this reluctance lies in the fear that excavations could harm the tomb, potentially causing the loss of invaluable historical insights. Presently, the only way to access the tomb involves invasive archaeological methods, fraught with the risk of irreparable damage.


for those who only read headlines....................

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.

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.
