The Mausoleum of the First Emperor of Qin has been repeatedly destroyed, is it intact or empty? One piece of evidence reveals the truth
The earliest period of building mausoleums dates back to the Warring States period, when the ancients chose the cemetery is usually accompanied by mountains and rivers, the environment of the sun and the moon to place the dead, but also said that such a way will benefit future generations, although I don't know where this statement comes from, but the mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang chose a good place with mountains and water.
In 210 BC, Qin Shi Huang died and was buried thickly, the coffin was stored in a very magnificent mausoleum, about the Qin Shi Huang Mausoleum, it had already begun to be built when it had not yet ascended to the throne, it took forty years before and after, countless migrant workers went forward and back, the heyday totaled more than 700,000 people, nearly one-tenth of the population were repairing tombs. However, after the death of Qin Shi Huang, the world was in chaos, Xiang Yu led a large group of people and horses to the tomb of the Qin Emperor, ordered the army to dig up the cemetery, and stole the funerary goods that were worth a lot of money inside, there were as many as 300,000 soldiers transporting property alone, and many soldiers took more than a month to transport away, which shows that there are countless treasures. Xiang Yu, who stole the treasure, ordered a fire to be set to burn all the treasures that could not be removed, and the fire lasted for several days, which was the worst disaster suffered by the Lishan Mausoleum.
Therefore, for thousands of years, no one has ever entered the Mausoleum of The First Emperor of Qin, and we do not know what is buried in it, but we can only know one or two from historical documents. However, there is also a theory that it is said that after Xiang Yu attacked Xianyang, he had already attacked the mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang, and he ordered the army to dig up the mausoleum and transport all the belongings inside. After digging for a month, the treasure inside had not yet been transported, so Xiang Yu burned it clean with a fire.
After Liu Bang won the world, in order to win the hearts and minds of the people, he began to repair and protect the imperial tomb, and since then, various dynasties and generations have basically continued this idea, and the imperial tomb has been protected. However, in the chaotic period, there are still many people who are fighting the idea of the Qin Shi Huang Mausoleum and want to make a windfall by relying on the imperial tomb. However, was the Qin Shi Huang Mausoleum really stolen on a large scale?
Modern people have been exploring the mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang after discovering it, and some cultural relics have been excavated, and no traces of damage and excavation by fire have been found on the excavated cultural relics. Moreover, archaeologists have come to the results after very rigorous investigation and measurement, the wall of the Qin Shi Huang Mausoleum Palace is particularly thick, although the robbery caves have been found in some places, but they are distributed in the passage and do not touch the underground palace. Moreover, it has now been found that there is a large amount of mercury in the dungeon, and if the dungeon is stolen and excavated, the mercury will evaporate. This evidence also fully shows that it is very likely that the Qin Shi Huang Mausoleum Underground Palace has not been patronized by tomb thieves.
