Peering inside the first Emperor of China's secret chamber: Scientists will use cosmic rays to reveal artefacts hidden in tomb guarded by the Terracotta Army — said to include deadly traps, an ancient map and mercury rivers

This site is famous for the Terracotta Army that was built to protect Qin in death

However, his tomb has never been opened for fear of damaging the contents

Chinese scientists have proposed to scan the complex with muon radiation

This is formed when cosmic rays interact with particles in the upper atmosphere

Measuring the muon flux will allow an image to be made like an 3D X-ray scan

In the USAF we used to clean electronic gear by soaking it in carbon tetrachloride, without the use of gloves.

“He just told us not to let it get in our eyes or mouth.”

According to the American Dental Association, or ADA, up to 76% of dentists use silver fillings containing mercury when filling a tooth.

IIRC, this dude was fed mercury and when it made him sick they gave him more, which finished him off.

At some point, he got pissed at the “scholars” (I think the Chinese like to call them “magicians”) who were telling him to drink mercury, which wasn’t working, and so burned many of their books in order to focus their minds on the task at hand. He even sent a fleet to find some mythical island that was supposed to have the secret to immortality.

I love these types of stories because they 1) demonstrate the futility of the mania for power and physical immortality; and 2) confirm my belief in Christ who taught precisely that lesson.

The opening of that tomb will bring the next Red China sponsored pandemic?

Whoopsey?

They truly are afraid of that emporer, who it is said in Chinese legends,to still live today, having found the secret to eternal life in his body.

As a matter of fact, the Comedy,”Big Trouble in Little China” is based on that legend.

Yes, apparently a very private residence in a very exclusive neighborhood. Inside there is supposed to be a gateway to heaven and Shi Quang Di can travel back and forth at his whim, according to legend. You should see “Big Trouble in Little China”. Its funny as all get out. They mock the legend and satirize it.

The way Hollywood never gets a new idea for Christmas, that could supplant the “Night at the Museum” franchise, which has been cancel-cultured.
