In size, the mausoleum is larger than the Great pyramid in Egypt. Seen
from afar, it is a hill overgrown with vegetation. It is believed that
the tomb consists of an interior city and an exterior city. The exterior
of the mausoleum is a low earth pyramid with a wide base. In 2000 years,
the original 100-meter-high (328 feet) hillock has been weathered down
to about 47 meters (154 feet) high, 515 meters (1,690 feet) long from
south to north and 485 meters (1,591 feet) wide east to west. In an area
of 2,180,000 square meters (less than one square miles), many
large-scale alhambresque buildings housing precious treasures are said
to be buried inside the tomb.
The Historical Records
Sima Qian, a great historian who wrote in early Han dynasty, offered
archeologists great insight on the mausoleum's construction. We learned
from him that the tomb is huge. The coffin of Emperor Qin Shihuang was
cast in bronze. Underground Palace was gem-studded replica of imperial
housing above ground. Moreover, booby traps with automatic-shooting
arrows were installed to deter would-be tomb robbers. Heaven and earth
were represented in the central chamber of the tomb. Ceiling shaped into
sun, moon and stars by inlaying pearls and gems symbolizes the sky and
the ground was an accumulation point of rivers, lakes and seas, like
Yellow River and Yangtze River, which stands for the earth. It is said
that the underground palace was brightly lit by whale oil lamps for
eternity. Nowadays, the records in this book have been definitely proved
right by archaeological findings and the underground palace of the tomb
is presumably well preserved.
