This, one of the world's largest historical treasures, was unearthed by accident in 1974 when a family was drilling for a well. There had been minor "discoveries" in the past 1500 years, but the earthenware that was discovered was considered broken or evil and discounted. This large colorful book illustrates and tells in detail the findings of the excavation. It's just amazing at the detail the artisans provided as some of this material was crafted B.C. Lintong was the burial ground of the emperor qin Shi Huang, the first emperor to unit China. 700,000 convicts worked in the tomb for 38 years. The aim was to build a completed army of warriors and horses in terracotta to serve the Emperor in the underworld. Over 7,000 soldiers, horses, and bronze chariots have been found to date. This was a non-fiction book and very very dry with its seemingly never ending size of each pit, statue, etc. I would have liked more history and less meters! 92 pages geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
Lintong was the burial ground of Emperor Qin Shi Huang, the first emperor to unify China in a series of bloody wars from 246 BC to 221 BC. Subsequently he laid the groundwork, on strictly Confucian principles, for the following government of China, even though his own dynasty barely outlasted his death in 210 BC. About 700,000 convicts worked in the tomb for 38 years, even after the Emperor's death. The aim was to build a complete army of warriors and horses in terracotta to serve the Emperor in the underworld after his death. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
