Qin Shi Huang was a veritable emperor of the ages, who ruled the world when he was alive, and after his death, he attracted the attention of the world because of his huge imperial tomb. Excavating ancient tombs has always been an important way to study the long history of our country, and countless historical mysteries have been discovered through the excavation of ancient tombs.
As a unique existence, the excavation of the Mausoleum of the First Emperor of Qin is bound to be a groundbreaking event in China's historical circles, and many historical problems will be solved. Having said all this, then why didn't the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang be excavated? In addition to the current technology can not reach, the high cost of excavation can not be ignored.
The Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor covers an area of nearly 56.25 square kilometers, and in addition to covering a huge area, the thickness of its cover is unimaginable. Some people have roughly calculated that if the tomb of Qin Shi Huang is to be excavated, the cost of excavating the earthwork alone is as high as nearly 60 billion. This is still in a relatively smooth situation, of course, this does not include the cost of the various means of technical protection required.
Just digging up the soil requires only 60 billion, what is the concept of this 60 billion? Let's take Handan, Hebei Province, where Qin Shi Huang was born, as an example, accounting for nearly one-fifth of Handan's GDP revenue in 2016 and nearly half of Tibet's GDP. If you want to excavate the mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang, although it will not be a national power, but the power of the province is not alarmist.
Speaking of what is the relationship between this Qin Shi Huang and Handan? Let's briefly introduce that during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, wars between countries were quite frequent, and wars were fought without a word. For the sake of their own security, all countries will ask the countries to send hostages. Such hostages need to have two conditions, one is to have royal blood, and the other is not valued or favored in the country. This is actually a nine-death errand, countries should fight or fight, the first to suffer when the war begins is of course the hostage of this royal family.
Unfortunately, Qin Yiren, the father of Qin Shi Huang, played this role, and Qin Yiren, who had been in Handan for many years, could be said to have fallen to the extreme. Until the emergence of Lü Buwei, Lü Buwei was a great merchant in the Zhao Kingdom, and he thought that the Qin Yiren had a promising and strange goods to live in, so he began some series of operations.
At this time, another person appeared, she was Zhao Ji, who was the birth mother of Qin Shi Huang. Zhao Ji was a great beauty, also a native of Handan, who was later dedicated to Qin Yiren, after which Qin Shi Huang was born, and his birthplace was in Handan.
Whether this child of the Zhao state hostage was Lü Buwei's son or Qin Chamber bloodline is still to be determined. But I did not expect that this child would eventually be able to unify the world and become the first emperor in the history of our country.
Until later, he died on the East Tour Road, and was buried in today's Shaanxi after his death. As for why Qin Shi Huang died suddenly and violently, historians also have different opinions, the most important of which is that he died of murder and was smashed into a long nail in the ear and died. Some people also say that this Qin Shi Huang Mausoleum is actually not Qin Shi Huang but his grandmother-level Mi Yue, and these many historical mysteries may only be revealed to the world after the excavation of qin shi huang mausoleum.
