Qin Shihuang is a very legendary figure in Chinese history. He is the 1 king in history. His life is full of legends. In his later years, Qin Shihuang pursued immortality and often sent people to look for the elixir. After a long time, he also knew that the so-called immortality was false and people were doomed to die, so he began to build the mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor ahead of schedule. Life is king and death is king. Qin Shihuang attached great importance to the construction of the mausoleum. From the beginning to the final completion, the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang lasted for 40 years, covering an area of 84,000 mu, which shows how grand the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang is.
Tomb raiding has existed since ancient times, but the mausoleum of Qin Shihuang has never really been opened. The terracotta warriors and horses we know are just the tip of the iceberg of Qin Shihuang's mausoleum. The real underground palace of Qin Shihuang's mausoleum has never been opened. With the development of the times, it becomes more and more mysterious. Later, after high-tech testing, it was found that the main reason why Qin Shihuang's mausoleum could not be excavated was that there was too much mercury in it. And it is recorded in history books. Why? Mercury is a hundred rivers and seas? It can be seen that the mercury in Qin Shihuang's mausoleum is comparable to rivers and seas. Once such a large amount of mercury is leaked, it is a great threat to nature and human beings.
And this is the purpose of Qin Shihuang, mercury can make people's bodies not rot, and it is highly toxic. Using it to water the mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor can not only look spectacular, but also ensure that the body does not rot. More importantly, it can also prevent grave robbery, which can kill two birds with one stone.
