He buried about 460 people who knew how to read and write alive and burnt all of the books except for the ones that were for farming. Even if he didn’t bury all his followers with him..there are still some debate about if he is actually a good king or not-
@@Ph0s_ph0rvs Wow. That's why I love history. I think I know a decent amount about a subject, and then there is always something else to learn. It's fascinating but sad to look back at media to see how the portrayals change. I've seen certain Roman and English movies having different portrayals over time. Example: 20 years ago a certain block buster movie came out about some random king, made to make him look mad and evil. The king is portrayed pure evil. 10 years later a series releases where that same king is still mad, but had a hard childhood, was misunderstood. Story portrays that king in a gray light almost. Then recently movies that glorify that same king to be still evil, but had to make hard decisions for the good of his kingdom. Still somewhat sticking to the facts but it feels... different. It's media like that, that always makes me wonder how much will change in a 100 years. I sincerely hope we continue preserving the true facts of history and don't re-write it via media.
If it is like Sicily, the government then takes away the farmers' land and the farmer has nothing to show for it. Thatis why in Siciiy the farmers do not contact the government but rather the black market vendors of antiquities who sell the items to the richest people in the world. And maybe the farmer gets a kickback and gets to keep his land for farming.
Actually, each of the terra cotta warrior statues (as well as the horse statues and stuff) have their Labor's name carved on them in the corners (in Chinese characters, and modern Chinese can still read those names). They were intended to be used as a warranty system (so the emperor/higher-ranked officials could find out whoever's in charge if sth is messed up), but it is nice that modern day Chinese ppl can read those names and recognize their creation.
I got to see a small exhibit at the Field museum a few years ago. It was an extra $20 but totally worth it! It was quite a feeling to be standing there next to something man made that was so old.
My husband and I were so lucky to be able to tour China in 1996. We had never heard of the Terracotta Warriors, but it was the absolute highlight of our trip. (even better than the Great Wall which we went to China specifically to see).
That artist rendition at the end of the video gave me goosebumps. The teracotta warriors lining up, with their original coloring intact, they almost look like real soldiers who would start moving anytime. If only we could go back in time and see it the moment it's finished. Must have been a surreal sight to behold.
Have you heard of the film called "The Myth"? It's a HK film which depicts the mythical Terra Cotta soldiers. In this film, these "soldiers" comes alive! I know the film is a fictional one but is based on this amazing archeological discovery. BTW, Jackie Chan stars on this film. See here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Myth_(film)

@@dharmdevil It doesn't really put your mind at ease. I believe people would be completely okay with it being the end or just not knowing if they weren't programmed to believe something comes after. Even most people these days operate as if death is the end, people still fear death even when they say they do believe in an afterlife.

It is believed to be as large as 10 football fields and as deep as 8 floors way down underneath. The emperor believed in afterlife so he buried his symbolic ”army” alongside with him so that he could keep ruling for another thousand year. And it was all done about two thousand years ago.
Fun fact about the tomb: while we know where it is, it has never been excavated because there are pools of mercury around the tomb and if they cracked into the mound it would not only be toxic for those nearby, it might effect the environment as well. The soldiers are, luckily, 1.5 km East of the tomb so we can at least observe their magnificence! I way wanted to be a forensic anthropologist, and I learned that in an archaeology class! Honestly, if you need an elective take an archaeology or anthropology class. Very interesting, and super informative!
This is what I loved to see on Netflix in its early blu ray days. I would watch everything about Chinese terracotta warriors (and ancient Egypt). So now that I have big trouble finding stuff like this. Weird History, this weird kid appreciates this more than anything I can find years later about them
I wish that I could travel to China to see these beautiful statues and artifacts in person. Would be an amazing trip. Also just wanted to say wow... I had no idea the terracotta army was also painted as well. They must have been a sight to behold in their day.
@@りんごT-i3tThere are stores specializing in Terracotta Warriors model artifacts, which are also made of fired clay and range from palm-sized to life-sized. You can buy one as a souvenir when you visit the Terracotta Warriors.
I remember going to see some of the terracotta warriors at the British museum in London as a child after seeing a TV show on their discovery and creation. Absolutely amazing!
I have been lucky enough to have seen the Terracotta Army in Atlanta, GA. when it was touring The USA. It is absolutely amazing and beautiful to say the least. When you first see them you are in awe of their grandeur, then you begin to look closer and it’s then you actually see the the finest of details that are crafted in them. It is absolutely true that no two soldiers are the same. Everything on each one and everyone of them are completely different, all the way from a lock of hair out of place to the toes of one putting on his shoe. The armor they are wearing differs due to their rank and even the under clothing they are wearing. The horses and chariots are just indescribable and are as big as you think, beautiful as well. Should you ever see that the Terracotta Army is on tour in your area, I highly recommend going to see it as you won’t regret it!
Umm how did you see it in Atlanta it’s literally in China I know because I am from Hong Kong and I got a tour in zoom today a tour guide was showing us the army and the school pay for the whole school to watch the tour
I still remember seeing the Terracotta exhibition in National Civilization Museum in Singapore few years ago when i was living there.The horse carriage was amazing and its huge.I got goosebumps just by looking at it. Heard couple of stories from the night guards that sometimes they could hear footsteps and horses making noise in the museum while making rounds during the Terracotta exhibition. I guess the museum itself could be creepy😅
I saw it when I was in China in 2004. Aside from the Grand Canyon this was the most awe inspiring piece of history. They also had some of the warriors at the British Museum.
I have visited this site twice and it is something wonderful to see. The history of how it was built and rediscovered is fascinating. The punishment however for producing bad workmanship were appalling. Qi Shi Huangdi was both a clever man and sat the same time extremely cruel. I hope one day the open the mauseleum but I feel that will not happen for a very long time.
Had a super fun road trip in 2017 and got to stop by the site myself - it's unbelievably amazing how well-kept majority of them are. Completely amazing in person & its nicely covered and surrounded by the modern architectural museum built over and around it in the different sections of the tombs.
@@pauliedibbs9028 Its because their rulers as well as all other post-sumerian empires, come from the same bloodlines. The so called stargods you see in every ancient culture around the world from the Mayans to the ancient norwegians and chinese. You see old statues of them mixing with Man/woman everywhere. A dynasty of evil still rulinh the World just as the Bible said 2000 years ago already. Those "stargods" in thr Bible are described as Fallen angels aka Demons kicked out of heaven when Man was made.
I was there several years ago, and it's an absolutely breathtaking sight to see. If you stand at one end of the main excavation you are looking at the distance of about 3 American football fields to the other end. The overall scale of the site is hard to grasp. I wound up in a LOT of Chinese tourists pictures while we were there- 'big bearded white guy' is not a usual sight, I guess! Would love to go back, especially now with the new excavations.
My parents was born in a village just couple miles from this place. I have been there when I was in elementary school, I still remember it was a school travel and the ticket only cost two or three rmb (50cents) for each student. But I was too young to know the history, so I didn’t have much feelings about this amazing work. As i grow up and reading a lot history about that mystery time, I just want to visit it again! Also the actual tomb of qinshihuang is quite near to this place, but it hasn’t been discovered yet, cause there might be a lot of mercury and we don’t have advanced technology to fully protect the artefact while discovering. That tomb is enormous, it’s just like a underground huge palace. But I don’t think I can witnesses it been discovered in my life.

Got to see the Terracota Army exhibition at the Met in NYC a few yrs ago and it was intense. If you get really close you can still see some of the paint on them. They had other cool objects from the tomb but the figures were the main draw.
I really love this channel, but occasionally I question the accuracy of photos. At 5:38 the 2 soldier's look to be playing violin instruments. They were not invented until at least 14th century. I could only find that picture on Pinterest too.😊
Those photos were taken of decorative statues and should not have been used. Kinda throws the story off and makes you question the saddles on the horses. I'm not saying there wrong but, it doesn't help.
“Violins” as we know it were invented in the 14th century. But ancient violin-like instruments have been found and documented. I know because I play violin and it’s one of my books 😂
There was a show of some of the artifacts (warrior sculptures, horses, chariots, weapons, etc) at the Pacific Science Center in Seattle about 25 years ago in Seattle, which I was lucky enough to attend. It was amazing! And unforgettable.
I was able to see an exhibit of these soldiers a few years ago at the High Museum of Art in Atlanta and they are truly breathtaking. The chariots in particular are amazing.
I was surprised to be taken to China in 2019 as it was on my bucket list to see this Amazing Wonder of The World .All I can say it left me speechless .
I visited the site about 6-7 years ago, it was fascinating and bewildering - it was a great experience and I’m glad to have done it, after the tour, we were led to the gift shop (ofc there’s a gift shop) where whatever you bought could be signed by the farmer for about 50 Yuan, I was pretty excited for this one got it done but honestly it was a bit sad! He looked like he’d be much happier at his farm than signing stuff for tourists all day every day
I visited that site 19 years ago and got to shake hands with that farmer--for good luck as my tour guide told me. That farmer's hand was as smooth and silky as warm marbles--a very weird sensation. I still remember that electrifying sensation these many years later.
The Warriors are speaking directly to us, and they leave a clear unambiguous message. It is this: Remember us! We were men! This is what we once were! Do not ever forget us! To you who come after us, this is what it means to be Chinese! Remember us always!
Terracota Warrior were clearly inspired by classical statues (and even possiblly made under tutorship of someone either greek, bactrian or indo-greek with knowledge on the art).

I was taught that the reason all of the faces were different was because the heads were modelled on those of his real soldiers, and that each one had to pose for the likeness. Not sure how true that is, but may be likely since there were about 8,000 of them, all different.
Qin Shi Huang is NOT the first emperor, before him, there are many emperors from Shang Dynasty, Zhou Dynasty, and also legendary emperors from Xia Dynasty like Yao,Shun,Yu. but Qin Shi Huang is the first emperor which standardized Chinese language, measurement metrology,money，built road system all over China. so, in 2200 years after, no one (include many emperors and kings) dare not to open his tomb and wake up the one true emperor.
Of course, when I went there I was overwhelmed by the size and scope but the pits and the Army but I think the chrome-plated sword is what impressed me the most.
Some of these Warriors came to Liverpool museum. My husband tried to get tickets but every day was sold out. I am sad, as I really wanted to see them. I have been fasinated by them since I was a little girl, I am now 58!

@@miri283 why the ban on Winnie the Pooh tho.... Poor Pooh
I hope everyone has a good day today 💯🤙
Man, this channel really is amazing.
What’s weird is the Aztec and Mayans also used mercury under or near their pyramids. They also had similar after life beliefs…
Got to see the Terracota Army exhibition at the Met in NYC a few yrs ago and it was intense. If you get really close you can still see some of the paint on them. They had other cool objects from the tomb but the figures were the main draw.
I really love this channel, but occasionally I question the accuracy of photos. At 5:38 the 2 soldier's look to be playing violin instruments. They were not invented until at least 14th century. I could only find that picture on Pinterest too.😊
Yeah. There's also a kneeling soldier not shown here that has tread on its sandal -like your Nike's... It's all suspect once you 'dig' deeper.
Those photos were taken of decorative statues and should not have been used. Kinda throws the story off and makes you question the saddles on the horses. I'm not saying there wrong but, it doesn't help.
There are always glaring inaccuracies in these 'Weird History' vids.
I had unsubscribed for a while. I just came back for the comments section!
My exact reaction, violin in ancient China 😰
“Violins” as we know it were invented in the 14th century. But ancient violin-like instruments have been found and documented. I know because I play violin and it’s one of my books 😂
There was a show of some of the artifacts (warrior sculptures, horses, chariots, weapons, etc) at the Pacific Science Center in Seattle about 25 years ago in Seattle, which I was lucky enough to attend. It was amazing! And unforgettable.
I was able to see an exhibit of these soldiers a few years ago at the High Museum of Art in Atlanta and they are truly breathtaking. The chariots in particular are amazing.
I was surprised to be taken to China in 2019 as it was on my bucket list to see this Amazing Wonder of The World .All I can say it left me speechless .
the part of the tomb thats open to visitors is eerie af
Really loving the effort put into pronouncing the chinese names!
Absolutely incredible. The craftsmanship and attention to detail all done by hand. So vast and beautiful even without the paint.
Imagine being an ordinary farmer digging a well then accidentally falling into a massive tomb with thousands of insanely accurate clay soldiers ...
ok but that's not what happened
I visited the site about 6-7 years ago, it was fascinating and bewildering - it was a great experience and I’m glad to have done it, after the tour, we were led to the gift shop (ofc there’s a gift shop) where whatever you bought could be signed by the farmer for about 50 Yuan, I was pretty excited for this one got it done but honestly it was a bit sad! He looked like he’d be much happier at his farm than signing stuff for tourists all day every day
I visited that site 19 years ago and got to shake hands with that farmer--for good luck as my tour guide told me.
That farmer's hand was as smooth and silky as warm marbles--a very weird sensation. I still remember that electrifying sensation these many years later.
Very interesting, informative and worthwhile video.
I'm teaching about this right now, perfect timing!
The Warriors are speaking directly to us, and they leave a clear unambiguous message. It is this: Remember us! We were men! This is what we once were! Do not ever forget us! To you who come after us, this is what it means to be Chinese! Remember us always!
Now I understand Jackie Chan's 'The Myth' better. It's really amazing how much we've learned now.
Love your videos
Terracota Warrior were clearly inspired by classical statues (and even possiblly made under tutorship of someone either greek, bactrian or indo-greek with knowledge on the art).

The find is an exact military blueprint of how an ancient civilization was equipped armed and ranked. in fact the only one like it in the world and they were a very successful military! this will be studied for centuries to come
Absolutely amazing! The detail is phenomenal.
ohh so this is what that Disney Wendy Wu movie was about
Yep.
I appreciate that you put in effort to pronounce traditional chinese names, its very good. Keep up the good work 💪
I think it’s great that even found by accident it was discovered and now we gain the opportunity to learn
Found in 1974, year of the wood tiger! not just any other year!
I love your guys videos!
I really hope they find a way to safely explore his tomb in our life time, would be fascinating to see
why can't they just make a small incision and send a small robot with camera and flash light into the unexplored parts?
@@lyhthegreat that can alter the air pressure as well. the smallest gap can completely ruin the entire grave system. besides, the structures inside might've collapsed in on it's own too
I was taught that the reason all of the faces were different was because the heads were modelled on those of his real soldiers, and that each one had to pose for the likeness. Not sure how true that is, but may be likely since there were about 8,000 of them, all different.
thats what i heard and always thought too
The Terracotta army is a true wonder, it not easy learning how ancient military was especially of that age
This fascinatingly beautiful
The Chinese were sadly wrong about the afterlife and now the emperor has been overthrown, in the afterlife!! 🧐🗡️🗿
The patterns and scales and measurements and requirements are fantastic
Love the new intro with the airplane. Really good stuff. Love this channel
Terracotta Army is a true masterpiece :')
The new ones are interesting, thank you for having the updated discovery added.
Qin Shi Huang is NOT the first emperor, before him, there are many emperors from Shang Dynasty, Zhou Dynasty, and also legendary emperors from Xia Dynasty like Yao,Shun,Yu. but Qin Shi Huang is the first emperor which standardized Chinese language, measurement metrology,money，built road system all over China. so, in 2200 years after, no one (include many emperors and kings) dare not to open his tomb and wake up the one true emperor.
A+ video!
Incredible video! What an interesting story!
Awesome detailed sculptures! Might find a statue that looks like me 😁
Of course, when I went there I was overwhelmed by the size and scope but the pits and the Army but I think the chrome-plated sword is what impressed me the most.
Thank you for the new upload. Another job well done. 👌👍
Is there the statue of Qin Shi Huang among the Terracotta Army or in his tomb or hidden somewhere else?
Some of these Warriors came to Liverpool museum. My husband tried to get tickets but every day was sold out. I am sad, as I really wanted to see them. I have been fasinated by them since I was a little girl, I am now 58!
How is this report accurate if only 1% of the tomb has been reviewed?
