Clay King

That's a big army

The army of Qin Shi Huang.

One mans tomb, another mans weaponry. I guess you could say that about Qin Shi Huang tomb. It was filled with over 7,000 clay figures of humans, each with a different hair style, face, and different paint. This cruel emperor had them built to guard his tomb, each holding a steel weapon. Among these statues were archers, swordsman, horses, charioteers, and even dancers to keep him company in the after life. After his death, rebels attacked his tomb and stole the figures weapons to destroy the tomb. The only thing was that the HUGE mausoleum was not there, it was off to a side of the chamber safe and sound. Scientists believe that to this day, there are 160 unexplored chambers.

Bad or Good

Well if I lived under his rein I'd be in Europe. This cruel merciless emperor, according to Wikipedia " Qin Shi Huang ordered most existing books to be burned with the exception of those on astrology, agriculture, medicine, divination, and the history of the State of Qin. This would also serve the purpose of furthering the ongoing reformation of the writing system by removing examples of obsolete scripts. Owning the Book of Songs or the Classic of History was to be punished especially severely. According to the later Records of the Grand Historian, the following year Qin Shi Huang had some 460 scholars buried alive for owning the forbidden books." For a thing like owning certain books he would burn you, I wouldn't like to live there. I have heard of many other cruel things this emperor has done. Such as making his wives and servants drink poison to knock them out and then burring them alive with him when he died.
