Legend has it that in 206BC the first emperor of unified China, Shi
Huang-te, decreed that after his death his body should be clothed
in jade, cast adrift in a lake of mercury within a pyramid, and
protected by an everlasting army. In 1974, archaeologists
discovered the first of more than 7000 lifesize terracotta warriors
buried near the pyramid tomb of Shi Huang-te, confirming that the
legend was more than a myth. But why were the massive soldiers,
each weighing more than half a tonne, buried there at all? Was it
simply to guard the emperor in the afterlife? Or was there more to
the legend?
