Chinese archaeologists have unearthed what they believe is a 2,400-year-old pot of soup, state media report.

Did it have a curse?

Some like it hot. Some like it cold. Some like it in the pot 2,400 years old.

In 1974, the terracotta army was found there at the burial site of Qin Shihuang, China's first emperor. He presided over the unification of China in 221BC and ruled until 210BC.

I love the Brits way with words.
That's their way of saying..

He KILLED all his enemies.
