History

• When Ying Zheng was 13 years old, he was crowned
  King of Qin in China. Qin, pronounced Chin, was
  one of the largest military stated in ancient
  China. Because of Ying Zhengs quest for
  immortality, he ordered construction on his
  burial site as soon as he became king. Soon after
  he proclaimed himself first emperor and unified
  China in 221 B.C, work began on the vast tomb.
  From all parts of China, more than 700000 workers
  built terra cotta warriors, chariots, weapons and
  other artifacts.
