The First Emperor of China
Qin Shi Huang lived and ruled over 200,000 years ago as the first Emperor of China. Taking on a new name, as the Emperor of China, he claimed the name of Ying Zheng Tu. He took the throne in 246 B.C at the young age of 13 and was the king of the Chinese State of Qin from 246 BC to 221 BC. Emperor Ying Zheng Tu standardized coins, weights, and measures. After many years Qin Shi Huang created and drew the first version of the Great Wall of China, and he ordered his people to create his vision, he also made many more changes. To ensure stability, Qin Shi Huang outlawed and burned books and buried some scholars alive. Reportedly, he died due to ingesting mercury pills, made by his court physicians. Ironically, these pills were meant to make Qin Shi Huang immortal.Ying Zheng Tu ordered 700,000 workers to construct his tomb because he believed upon his death that he would awaken after death, being immortal, which is called after life. http://throughourwindowroom101.blogspot.com/ - video.
His tomb contained rivers and streams and were made of mercury flowing to seas through mountains of bronze. Precious stones like pearls are said to represent the sun, moon, and stars. http://throughourwindowroom101.blogspot.com/ - video

Another fact was there were about 8,000 life sized clay figures who once stood in the tomb. http://throughourwindowroom101.blogspot.com/
The tomb was also filled with different clay figures like Chariots, war horse's , infantry ,officers, archers. http://throughourwindowroom101.blogspot.com/
Many of the clay figures were broken into 200 pieces and you couldn't find one clay figure with arms or fingers. http://throughourwindowroom101.blogspot.com/
