In Central China buried deep beneath hills, is the mysteries of the first emperor. Farmers stumbled across Emperor Qin’s mausoleum, uncovering artifacts from thousands of years ago. This mausoleum was built for the afterlife. Emperor Qin was known for unifying China, forcing strict rules, and having complete control over china, so with that he had enemies. Being a megalomaniac, with a dash of paranoia, and obsession of living forever, he decided to build his mausoleum. He thought he was the best so he built the best. After 3,000 years his tomb hasn’t been touched. So what’s holding archaeologist back? What if archeologists open the tomb of Emperor Qin? With similar discoveries, artifacts go through so much within its discovery. They have to…show more content… Since Emperor Qin was the Emperor, would he be considered an ancestor or an elder? Ancestor worship is important because they can give positivity in the descendant’s lives and they ask for favors and help as well. Descendants or the living must protect their grave and in return they bring good fortune and prosperity, but if the ancestor is neglected and not protected, then they can get vengeful and dangerous. This is why some people try to be good to their ancestors. So when the archaeologists open the tomb of their ancestor Qin, the tombs are unprotected.

If anyone refused, they would be killed, so a lot of scholars who refused to participate died. Some he imprisoned and forced to help with massive projects like “The wall of China” and his “Mausoleum.” He obsessed with living on for eternity.

Would it bother you if someone dug him up and then relocated him for the world to see? Would it be a violation that all his personal business is now exposed? I don’t follow this religion, but I do respect it. I think they should leave him where he lay. Let him live his life in
