In The New Evidence, Liquid Mercury… …Shaanxi Providence, China. Here, buried deep under a hill, lies Emperor Qin Shi Huang. Undisturbed for more 2,000 years, his tomb is best known for the discovery of thousands of Terra-cotta Warriors. But much of the massive underground structure has not yet been excavated, due to high levels of mercury. “If somebody were to ask me, ‘What is the most fantastic archaeological site on the planet Earth?’, my answer would be simple and it would be quick: it’s the tomb of Emperor Qin. Writings from the time of Emperor Qin, 2nd-century BC, told us that this guy was buried in a tomb that had a scale model of China inside of it, with flowing rivers of mercury moving around the cities that were built in scale models.” – David Cheetham, Ph.D. (Archaeologist, Arizona State University) [1]
