China's Mega Tombs: One Of The Biggest Mortuary Complexes On Earth | China's Pyramids

- In China, there exists an astonishing place. A burial ground to rival Egypt’s Valley of the Kings, where pyramid tombs of stupendous size are full of astonishing riches. In 221 BC, China's first Emperor united warring kingdoms into a nation that still exists today. To memorialise this achievement, he bankrupted the national treasury and oppressed thousands of workers to build one of the world’s biggest mortuary complexes. China's second dynasty, the Han, inherited the daunting challenge of building larger tombs to command respect and establish their right to rule without running the nation into the ground. Although no Han emperor's tomb has been opened, the tombs of lesser Han aristocrats have revealed astonishing things: complete underground palaces (including kitchens and toilets) and at least one corpse so amazingly well-preserved some believe Han tomb-builders knew how to "engineer immortality". But most tombs were robbed, leaving another dynasty hundreds of years later - the brilliant Tang - to lead a revolution in tomb design, tunnelling simple shaft-tombs into natural mountains and filling them with small, inexpensive grave goods that symbolised more than reproduced the perfect afterlife.

For anyone wishing the government to dig the tomb:
Chinese government declared they won’t dig any untouched or undamaged historic monuments UNLESS they are already damaged in the first place. They will then dig and display them in order to protect the monuments from corrosion or getting stolen.
In 1956, although opposed by many other archaeologists, Guo MoRuo requested to dig Ming’s Dynasty Tomb and as a result, thousands of precious artefacts especially papers, paintings and silks were being destroyed once they came into contact with the air after being kept in an enclosed space for hundreds of years.
Another example is that Terracotta warriors were originally full of vibrant colour but after they dig them (they did not intentionally dig it, the farmers discovered it, they cannot just leave it there witness it destroyed by the people), the paint oxidised, our technology at that time (or now) are not that advanced to the point to preserve that many terracotta warriors’ colour at the same time.
After that, Chinese government declared they won’t intentionally dig untouched tomb or any historic monuments. Plus the Mercury in the Qin’s Dynasty Tomb are way too high and dangerous. In order to dig that, they need to perform in an enclosed space, but the size of that tomb is way too big (the size of 5 football fields, 78 forbidden cities), the large amount of mercury are no where to be disposed too.
I’m pretty sure there are many other reasons for them to not dig it, from professional aspect.
So anyone wishing it is some kind of conspiracy or sorts are false, sorry to break that.
And human has the history of destroy anything they find so I prefer it remains untouched.
(Please excuse my English)
how did all the mercury get there, and how do we know its there in the first place?
@@beckylieb2637 there’s machine out there that can detect the mercury (I’m no professional on this so I can’t tell you which machine), I’m sure any other encyclopaedia out there will explain the process better than me too
How did they manage to put that amount of mercury in there? Just like all ancient infrastructure, the Pyramids, the Great Wall, this tomb, Machu Picchu, Angkor Wat, can we explain how they build all that thousand years ago? I don think we can unless we travel back in time and see it with our own eyes, that’s the beauty of history, rich and mystery
The excess in building these tombs lmfaooo but good call not digging em up
@@sextuplemillionsellersfan7961 Imagine thousands of thousands of workers dying from mercury poisoning just trying to fill the "oceans and rivers" of mercury in the tomb.
Well said~
Well. Looks like the First Emperor of China attained his immortality. He is remembered still by people around the world. Who says immortality is unattainable?
Too bad he's not alive to enjoy it.
@@wareforcoin5780 you take what you can get I guess.
maichiki yiist I’m a chinese and he’s better off dead lol. As far as I’ve known, the emperor is a brutal and merciless emperor, enslaving his people like mere slaves and lifestocks.
Confucius and Laozi are still remembered (and LOVED!) by people around the world, but for that they didn't need huge tombs built on the backs of countless miserable people.
G Wang that’s because their teachings are part of our academic curriculum 😅 for example「天網恢恢 疏而不漏」lol even overseas Chinese like us are required to memorise their quotes for our exams🤣
Been here and it is magnificent. I could not imagine how long and how many people were sacrificed to build this tomb and the terracota. This is one of the world's most marvelous archeological sites ever found, truly incredible.
I remember it was like 700+thousand people and took 39years to finish
And suffering and death
38 years and countless lives. But at least they were apparently convicts and criminals.
Apparently each worker only had to sculpt a replica of himself, overlooked by supervisors to ensure perfection, after he'd finished ,if deemed a good builder they'd get more work on horses, carriges etc.some were so devoted they continued building more , obv it was done over decades but still a magnificent achievment. I still don't believe that no one can escavate because mercury levels, I'm sure archaeologists would wear suits, there's no saying what treasures to archaeology, ancient alien theorists , & the enrichment of Chinese culture. The lost ark could be there, the holy grail. There's unlimited possibilities. Had this been anywhere but China it woulda been
escavated long ago. Also the wealth it would bring to China, imo the Europeans know they're gonna discover the cinnese were the master race. Hence why the authorities haven't ever pushed to open it. Loads of tombs have been found woth mercury & it is only a roumour. Apparently tens of thousands ( maybe all the builders) were sacrificed. The only way that will be excavated if China falls. Which imo it will never. There's people are so devoted. & fantastic workers. Imagine the treasures in that tomb.? How can we believe because of mercury they never deemed it safe?

When you fall asleep first at the sleepover: 39:21
Wow, really cant believe they fell asleep first in the sleepover.
It's astounding that these men were so obsessed with building their tombs rather than living their awesome lives.
He became the first emperor of China, I think he has lived his life to the best that he can
Back in the day, death was something that came to very young individuals and was way more present in their lives than in theirs. It was all around you. You would have lost many family members and loved ones between 0 to 35 years of age, so it was natural that one day it could be you. Preparing your tomb before death suddenly stroke you was a must. In todays society, people rarely die suddenly or younger than 35 so people never think of death.
He had achieved all he could. The most powerful man in the world in those days. He could only aspire to immortality after. Why do you think people like Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos are going to space. They probably have given millions to slowing aging, genetic manipulation or cryogenics or faster than light travel to slow down time.
How to build great tombs without destroying their dynasty. Budget, your Majesty.
hahahahaha
yes they actually consider budget after that XD, resulting to just dig deep inside natural mountain
Well what about don't kill your own people sort of king, and don't destroy cultures.
Ha ha ha ha ha
Asiatic clay curved soldier and bronze for carriage plus horses not to mention modern depiction of the so said people make this BS stink to high heaven. It a fact.
With such a big tomb you'd probably feel like someone was walking on your grave pretty often.
😂😂😂
That's why it was forbidden to come closer and had an army to guard. Of course, that's before your dynasty collapsed.
And digging pretty often🙃🙃

its'great
is it just me or does it seem that their is always a tribe or group of ingenious people on every continent that amaze and wonder us all throughout history.? wow our ancestors are amazing
It's just you.
If you can call thousands of people worked to death and then making it an achievement…🤦🏻♂️
Great program! Wonderful graphics. I learned a lot. The method of tamping all the air out of dirt structures, and their durability is amazing! Thank you.
I love docs about China. Especially the first Emperor. Thank you. Hope everyone has a nice day.
I love you so much, hope you will marry me and move to China together!
@Philip Thomas Pyramids build by Whiteys! that what they want to hide
Philip Thomas, first of all, I would not be certain that what your read is accurate; secondly, you suggested the Pyramids are made by white people, lets assume that white people was here before "Asians", which must be at least earlier than 1046BC which history have clear and detailed descriptions, and there were skeletons sculptures being found even earlier than that in xian. And this Pyramids are only 2000 years old and assumed to be made by Qin Dynesty. Third, what ever people thinks, Chinese citizens are made of mutiple ethics and race, you can find "white people" here for generations at west China and Northan China, untill today, Urumxi is still majorly residented by Chinese citizens you would reconginize as "White ", So it would not be a suprise that anyone found White mummies in Urumxi anyway right? Its their home! (ps: we are talking about xian here, which is alot eastern compare to xinjiang, which is vast , xianwas residented by the majority ethics here from history can prove.) Last of all, whats the point of hiding a history fact which have no value to the govt? Its pointless.
Well I was the first emperor of China this happened around 10000 bc or further back probably like 20000 bc!
Gary LeFevers : curious why you are interested in Chinese history ? 🙂
I really loved how the focus of this film was to learn FROM history, rather than simply learn it. I think that's why we should study history - otherwise you're just cramming your head with knowledge for no purpose

39:29 when you fall asleep first at a sleep over. Because everyone else is saying it
Thanks for the added knowledge
I think this is my favorite because I have always been interested in history. Especially, the history of China
This was very interesting! Thank you for this! 🙂
39:23 when you fall asleep first at a sleepover:
Awesome production , thankyou for this.
Amazing documentary! Thanks for uploading!
Swear to god they show that same scene of the worker being whipped like 40 times.
LOL. thers propaganda innyendo here
Stock whippings. =(
Barried tombs or mud floodcities?
Or perhaps y'all could consider budgetary constraints of documentaries (which have a much lower sales potential than movies)
Poor guy that must of hurt
If it wasn't for the pandemic. I would have visited this site last year, the original plan is to spend 6 months travelling thru China including Bejing Palace, Great Wall, Terra Cotta, Qua Lin - being so famous for the scenic mountains. This would be my first bucket list and I hope I can realize this hopefully 2 years from now.
Stop the cap!
I'm planning this year now that they've reopened borders. Tibet, Mongol and Yunnan are also recommended.
10:30 they forgot to mention that the body was submerged in a mysterious red liquid that preserved the diva mummy's body and kept it fresh.
They didn't forget, they thought only a complete helmet will care that we didn't mention this.
Really ? Woah...
Oh boy, the Emperor shouldn't sleep first at the sleepover
39:23 the when u sleep first on the sleepover vid
Very interesting!
Thank you.👍👍
Dropping dat fire doc
Around 18:50-> it's like a small city! Crazy!! Very impressive. Love documentaries like this. And love hearing about the Terracota Warriors. It's so mind-boggling how this was all done, so long ago. Thanks for the documentary.
Then you should go and see it for real.
@@sverre371 I don't have $ to travel. Although u are right, I should try to see what I can. I love history but I don't get to go out of my area to see it... only on tv and CZcams, etc do I get to view things like that.
There’s the first emperor’s tomb but no one enter due to high levels of mercury and problems of entering without damaging the artifacts and such. What’s inside is his coffin in the middle of a huge map of his empire with mercury as the rivers, along with personal belongings and worth.
I believe the First Emperor of China is not soley human descend. Those Terracota Warriors are not human sized but giants in nature. If my memory is still correct, the emperor sought after immortality and cry out to the gods of his ancient times bu not to the True of God of heaven and earth. I didn't understand this back when I watched about the First Emperor but now I gain more knowledge about who these people could be that rule over the Chinese people. We are told many people died who build the Great Wall of China, but who was their master that would work people to the death? What I understand now is that these rulers were of the descendant of giants. Giants do not have a soul like normal human kind does. This may explain why they go to elaborate effort to construct such a magnificient tomb for their after life.
Again, if my memory is correct, after the Forbidden Palace was completed didn't fire come down from heaven and burned many of the houses down in the Palace Complex? It was like the judgement of the True God upon that emperor pride of his achievements. Why was it such a Forbidden City unless there's secrets that these entities don't want the people to find out their dark doings behind those walls.
The symbol of China is the Dragon. Behind the Red Dragon are principalities and powers, spiritual wickedness in high places ruling the people with forced. I was told that Xi Ping could be the descendant of the giant bloodline. I did see some pictures in this doc of men who facial features look like the Dragon. Their eyes look slanted like the serpent's feature. We are told in the Bible that Satan is that serpent and giants are part of the serpent seed. Giants came about because the holy angels of God who kept not their holy abode in heaven came to earth mated with the daughters of men and they produce hybrid call giants. The giants began to terrorize the people because of their immense size and power and even devoured the people as food. So I wouldn't be surprised if many people did become the food to giants in ancient China but just erased from history. Human sacrifice is a big thing to these false gods. Since these giants are the descendants of angelic / human mixed, they are greater in intelligent. This explain Mega Structures all over the world is not man made but the descendant of the offspring of fallen angels.
One day, people in the future will say the same thing about us now LOL! XD
Some countries are working on technologies that can more satisfactorily scan the ground to preserve archaeological sites like this. There is also a drone-like design that can map a location through a small access in the structure that does not compromise its interior. I hope these things are put to use at this location and that we can see them before I die.
Great documentary!!! Very interesting. 🤙🏼
39:23 *when you fall asleep first at the sleepover*
Just saying…
lol, I also came from that meme
18:01 what kind of archeologist hit with their fist a 2000 years old wall made with dirt ?
This is a amazing thing to find out,I never knew anything like this ,very interesting,
Different dynasties have very different policies. The one which tortured the people for mega projects was during the near end period of Qin Dynasty which ended as people rebelled. The Han Dynasty emperors tombs normally took around 20 years to build and the workers were not tortured.
Great documentary
"These are great ancestors of the Chinese people. Is it right to get into, and to excavate and find out more?"
As a Han Chinese, I'd say yes. I'd love to know more about my ancestors. Archeology enriches the living and future generations. The dead are, well, dead.
Nobody bats an eye when the individuals buried in mass graves were excavated. Why afford special privilege to the emperors?
Power were given by the people not the emperor has had the power of himself or herself. Without loyalty and respect of trust the citizens can overturn the immoral emperor any time. They are just paper tigers only. It's the people want peace not fear of the emperor in abusing of his or her might. What's that if the citizens overthrow him or her of his or her immoral cruel and injustice rule. Same to the present leaders of any countries.
@@humbleforest In those days being an emperor was equal to who has the biggest military, people couldn’t vote and emperors were just born into imperial family… so no - they couldn’t be overthrown. It was all about the privileged, warlords and nobles sharing the power between themselves😕
@@remi_gio
Emperors could be overthrown as there were many dynasties one after another. The three kingdoms had three kings or emperors, later they were split into many provinces, until the last Manchu emperor was overthrown by modern dressed Dr Sun Yet San by cutting off the taboo long pigtail. A few years later after he died during the opium wars, his Guo Mimg Tang was overthrown by the Communist Party of China, under Mao Tze Tung.
I understand the curiosity and how much we can learn, however as an outsider who has been to Xi'an twice (where this video is based in) merely oxygen will destroy the paint of these ancient artefacts.
I lived during the Tongue Dynasty
Just imagine people in ancient society starving to death as the emperor builds walls out of 'sticky rice'. The ancient world is crazy!
A bit like spending squillions on arms/ego fuelled space trips while millions go hungry/thirsty in the 21st century, I suppose.
Very recommendable!
Ok that is just AWESOME!!! Having a model of your realm and the seas or and lakes n rivers are all mercury. That must of looked like something outta this world. I only WISH I could see something like that. Makes me wanna build a small model of Mississippi and use mercury for its rivers.

Another tomb story like they did with Gisa in Egypt
Agree.. everything is a tomb or a temple..!
i visited this place in December 2019. Fantastic area! Breathtaking.
33:50-34:07 well maybe they should’ve left the Egyptian tombs alone as well 👀
shhhhh
don't tell them that
China has unbroken lineage from ancient times to now, Egypt does not.
All the suffering for a privileged few.
@@brantemery : This is not true... it has been broken... I think people need to understand what is going on.. Just because people "look" the same race.. But technically, they are not. Not really. Some people see a split off... and rejoin back say another century or so, is not.. technically the same. Especially if one has inter-married. To put it into modern day words, imagine your great great grandfather marrying his great great grand cousin or other. Does that even make sense now ?
@@MeiinUK Well, as it is, ideas about "race" are just an unscientific categorisation, grouping people together because they look similar; and it's really just used to reinforce prejudice or justify privilege. It isn't based on genetic lineage. As for an individual's heritage, if they are a descendant of a specific group of people who were (for example) in the region first, then the line is unbroken, anyway, even if they look different.
The irony is that genetically, the genes controlling superficial appearance (particularly skin color) are a very small proportion of genes determining phenotype and have very little biological significance. Only very small genetic changes are needed to vary a person's appearance significantly. You can be very closely related to someone else yet look entirely different.
The whole issue of appearance tends to be a human conceit, anyway.
ay look who fell asleep first
I came across this video by accident, and what a nice accident to have, wonderfully insightful and informative about a society and its rulers, in a hugely brutal but cultural society, far in advance of those to come. Thanks for the upload, going to find more like this to watch. I hope in one way that these tombs are never opened as it would probably destroy the mystery, but on the other hand I would love to know what wonders they hold, a huge dilemma for the Chinese people.
brutal? how about other place back to 2300 years ago?

An extraordinaire doc film of Ancient China 3 Dynastic History. 👍
Im seeing a lot of footage of a large mound. What about the actual pyramidal hills in China. If i remember right there are a great many of them. Even some in the ocean underwater. Just none in this video.
It is under all the sediment that has accumulated over time
I’m always surprised by how amazed people are at the idea of building with earth. I live in the south-west of England where a mixture of earth, cow dung, and water used to be used to build houses. It’s called ‘cob’ and the finished building was topped with thatch. Wattle and daub was made of panels made of woven sticks plastered with ‘cob’. The thatch was made of straw or reeds. There are many buildings left today which are two or three hundred or more years old, and that are still lived in. Provided the cob is kept dry, it lasts for hundreds of years and is totally ‘green’.
I'm also in England, and thatch done to a high standard lasts hundreds of years, with just the outer layer being replaced every 25-50 years depending on the quality of the reed used. Building may have used natural materials, but they were built to last.
Ireland too. Great stuff to build with.

poor those workers who died for something as nearly gone. Sometimes we cant understand what our leaders belief but we had to do it anyways.
Or not.
the problems are sometimes the lackeys. Maybe the leaders didn't mean it, the lackeys will do all the dirty work.
It would be nice to have a list of all the tombs and people that reside in them listed. Ive tried looking them up myself, but I can’t spell some of their names, so I end up with weird links. Is it possible to provide a list of those names?
Stop the cap.
What if the tomb was so heavy that the tomb acually pressed down on the soil so much that it sunk slowly until the tomb couldn't press down on the soil anymore I mean there wasn't any supports under the tomb to keep it from sinking like our modern day houses and buildings
I thought that too. It was over a wet area, which could make the land weaker, prone to sag. Even with modern a buildings, swampy land sinks over time.
Good point! What if the contents and such have all slowly shifted downward. Since the dirt was packed, it may have functioned more like "rock on top of dirt" than "dirt mixing with other dirt".
Look and see what the Giza Plato is on its older than we know and amazing

Photos and film does not do the site justice. The necropolis is 12 square kilometer which is humongous !
ANGOR WAT IS EVEN LARGER. SIZE IS NOT THE MEASURE OF CULTURAL IMPORTANCE ONLY-
@@ronwalker4849 Angor Wat is not a necropolis and two it is only 5 square km ! Size is everything as more artifacts will be found the very reason why archeologists have said that China will be the most important site for the next 200 years of archeology !
@Lord Voldemort Mercury was considered the elixir of eternal life in the old world. The primary reason why the First Emperor was getting mentally unstable and died at a young age as he was prescribe mercury to ingest by his physicians !
@Lord Voldemort This is how the story of Japan was born. The First Emperor dispatched a company of his soldiers to find the elixir of eternal life, knowing this was an impossible mission they were afraid to return fearing certain death from the Emperor's wrath and settled in a little island far away from the mainland which is today's the island of Japan.
I'm attending a uni in Xi'an and it's been 5 years. I've been to the terracotta warriors site. Never knew these pyramids exists!!

i guess they want to follow japan, one of the most important tomb still remained buried lock shape burial (japan), qin shi huang tomb (china)
Terra Cotta army was paraded across the world in a world tour a while back. I didn't even know of the Qin Dynasty's existence, but then again, Chinese history is not my forte. During this lockdown, I learnt a lot about the history... "China" was never really a single country, but made up of different groups and lineage etc...We are using modern day methods to postulate the history... and even in some of this info in the video is actually not correct. It is estimation...

"Is it right to raid these tombs where they wanted to rest in perpetuity?" Excuse me, British Empire, that's literally all you've been doing since forever? Take Egypt for example.

It is well known that the Egyptian pyramids were NEVER used as tombs. So why would the pyramids be tombs in China? It would be a very safe bet to say that these pyramids are much older than China and were used as an energy source, just like the pyramids in Egypt.

The archaeologist who tells us about the river diversions has my name: Wang Xueli.
I'm pretty sure that ancient Chinese aristocrats had extremely formal and exquisite manners. This show depicts their dinners as bawdy affairs - more what you'd expect in a low-level brothel, than in the palaces of an advanced civilization.
The dude *did* get buried with eight concubines, so perhaps they are not so far off the mark.
Those bronzes were 2500 years old? Archeologists in the UK go mad over a couple of scratches on a bit of pottery from that date.
