Have they found the river of mercury yet?
Under the mound they have detected mercury traces 2000 times higher than normal background.
And rumors state that the Emperor buried there had his tomb shaped afer the mythology of the shape of the cosmos of the time.
I remember hearing about that river of Mercury and thinking “As much as I bash on OSHA, those poor Chinamen who had to work with that!”
When they buried this guys body they buried his wives with him, and they weren’t dead. Apparently the artisans and workers who helped build the place were also buried/entombed alive.
Mercury is what killed this guy apparently, it was prescribed medicine apparently
