Terracotta Soldiers

Who were the Terracotta Soldiers? -

Where he lived (Qin Shi Huang)
      Every sculpted face was different, and there are over thousands of these lifelike models. All the men seemed to hold real weapons, just like a long, bloody sword. Two hundred years ago, a masterpiece was made; just not for the right cause. Created by the strongest emperor during that time period, Qin Shi Huang, this tomb that these soldiers were located in had been found by two farmers in 1974 according to History.com, the hill where the emperor was buried was never discovered due to an ability to loss information. The only reason why he died was because of Mercury Pills and they haven't excavated the tomb of that because of that toxic material, found by Live Science they were vicious if you take to many

The tomb was enormous,  more than miles.

Was the Emperor good or bad? -

      No one would know, but because we have some evidence I assume he was a very mean one.
He massacred his own army to think they would come in his afterlife which caused a lot of rambunctious actions from their own village. Most of them didn't like Qin Shi Huang because of that fact and also because he forced 100,000 people into labor. This information was found in the video "Terracotta Warriors". The most vicious action he did in my opinion though was how he poisoned his wives (which he had multiple of) and soldiers unconscious and left them to suffocate with him in his tomb. "Terracotta Warriors: Ten Amazing Facts" has the claim for this fact.

 Question Challenge!

      What would you have done if you had to be a servant to Qin Shi Huang?
This ruler wasn't the best one, and hopefully more like this won't come anytime soon. Please leave a comment to the answer below if you wish and thanks for reading my blog!

  1. I really like the introduction and how you just started describing the Terracotta faces with such detail. One thing i think you could fix is the question because the answers might be repetitive and common. But overall i liked your blog about China's first emperor.
