The fact that so many people still know his name to this day, who he was, what he was able to accomplish during his lifetime, is a testament to the fact that he has managed to come as close as any one human being can come to finding immortality.

His physical body may have died, but it's his legacy that has continued to send out ripples propagating through the fabric of time, arguably just as strongly today as they ever were, and undoubtedly well into the foreseeable future.

The History Channel : Some people put pineapples on their pizza. Could it be ... that this recipe was given by aliens?

[thepunisher]

Is it an emperor who is obsessed with immortality, or an emperor who learned the existence of immortality and wanted to unleash it!?

[remar-]

Always blown away when I see those terra-cotta soldiers. Can’t imagine how much time that must have taken way back then.

This was ridiculous. Saying mercury is only used in high tech devices is the most asinine dismissal of history I've ever heard! Tell it to the folks who got mercury poisoning throughout the years making hats and stuff.

[butchcassidy]

But wait a minute, how could this channel not mention the tomb in Mexico that had pools of mercury in it?

[theworthy]

We still studying his life until now which made him immortal..

[mariakelly]

The Terra Cotta warriors are simply amazing! I wish I could the whole complex in person.

Or, like just about anyone who's ever seen mercury, they though the silvery liquid was just very cool to look at and play with 😂

[Dragon_BeBop]

Noticed when we can't make sense of something then it's must be extraterrestrial? 😆

[MJ-mysg]

Visited excavation 10 years ago, totally fascinating along with the Great Wall!

[ReneeNme]

That last bit just had to be thrown in there 🤣

[christianvachon]

Liquid mercury and then the sky and the stars represented - that sounds so similar to the recent finding at the Pyramid of the Feathered Serpent in Teotihuacan...

[rioroy]

No One ....Litterely No One...But
Ancient Aliens Hosts: Want to connect every old theory to Aliens 👽😂👽🤣

[proto]

Do I enjoy watching Ancient Aliens? I say yes.

He took his entire army with him.each figure is is a exsteact copy of a real person, every iteam is a exact copy of the real iteam . Same as a Egypt but on a diffrent scale and format- it’s a no brainer.

[healthy-drinks]

Qin Shi Huang had encountered aliens who taught him a lot of science

[LevenScholar]

Man I don’t remember reading this in Kingdom
