Don't Forget the Cruelty of the Qin Dynasty
The following photoes were taken from the picture information which were provided by the managing agency of the Mausoleum of Qin First-Emperor (秦始皇).The bones were found around the mausoleum of Qin First-Emperor. These persons were mainly workers who built the mausoleum. From their relics, archaeologists found that most of the workers were from the east six states. The book "Historical Records" (史记) written by Sima Qian (司马迁) recorded that, the Qin Empire forced the people of the east six states to build the gigantic mausoleum. Moreover, some bones perhaps were the brothers and sisters of Qin Second-Emperor (秦二世). The book "Historical Records" recorded that, Qin Second-Emperor killed all of his brothers and sisters, in order to eliminate his potential opponents.The persons were killed by the army of the Qin (秦) Dynasty, because in their bones there were holes caused by arrows or other weapons. The army of the Qin Dynasty killed the workers in order to cover the secrets in the mausoleum. The persons with curled posture were buried into narrow tombs.
