Today we are going to talk about the world's largest ancient tomb, many people may not know, located in the northern foothills of Lishan Mountain, located 5 kilometers east of Lintong City in Shaanxi Province, has never been opened for more than 2,000 years, that is, the Mausoleum of The First Emperor of Qin.
Its designer was Li Si, the minister of the Qin Dynasty, and there were 720,000 laborers at that time, which was already eight times the number of people who built the pyramids, which lasted thirty-nine years.
The mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor is huge, the number of workers is large, and the duration is long.
However, at that time, there was such a rule that the craftsmen who built the underground palace could not walk out of the underground palace, just to prevent the entrance of the underground palace from being leaked.
In the "History of Lintong", it is recorded that after the death of Qin Shi Huang, Qin II Hu Hai succeeded to the throne, he first killed his eldest brother Fu Su, and then killed more than twenty of his brothers and sisters.
Including Qin Shi Huang's concubine, Hu Hai did not let go. All the harem concubines who had no heirs were to be buried, and they were driven into the mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang by Hu Hai, and the first floor of the palace gate was closed, and all, now in archaeology, different numbers of mass burial human bones will be found, and they are all noble women wearing gold and silver jewelry.
On the last floor, Hu Hai ordered all the craftsmen who built the underground palace to go to the tomb to watch the drama and receive the reward, and then the last palace gate was closed, and all the craftsmen were suffocated alive.
However, there was still a craftsman who escaped, because in the Qinling Underground Palace, there were stone waterways and pottery waterways that led to the outside world, which was also designed by himself at that time, just to be able to have a secret exit to the outside world, and finally he escaped along the waterway.
But later, no one knew the entrance to this underground palace, and later, when the imperial tomb underground palace was built, it was also gathered by a deaf and mute person, who could not hear or speak, so there was no need to extinguish the mouth.
