5. Tomb Of Qin Shi Huang, China - A Clay Army Guarding Treasure The Tomb of Qin Shi Huang was discovered by people digging a well in 1974. As they were digging, they came across some lifesize clay soldiers. These were but a few of thousands of unique individual clay soldiers who were carefully crafted to guard the tomb of the first Chinese Emperor. There is a literal army of terracotta (clay) soldiers surrounding the main Tomb of Qin Shi Huang. It is believed that each soldier is unique from the rest in their garb, facial expressions, and weapons. This enormous mausoleum is designed to pay tribute to the man that led a unified China in the third century BC. While visitors are allowed to see the terracotta army of soldiers and some of the items found in the tomb, the main tomb is completely off limits, due to respect for the burial rights. However, it is believed that there is a vast treasure buried with Qin Shi Huang, and that proves to be tantalizing. The terracotta army is guarding the Emperor and his treasure and continues to do so even thousands of years after Qin Shi Huang was lain to rest in his tomb. But it is what lies buried with him that is the big secret that no one will ever know.
