Why didn't Qin Shihuang's mausoleum dare to open?

According to historical records, there are the sun, moon and stars made by the night pearl, the distribution map of rivers, lakes and seas made by mercury, and the tombs protected by national craftsmen in the Qin Mausoleum. All the craftsmen were beheaded when they finished, so no one knew about the Qin Mausoleum. If you open it rashly, the consequences will be unimaginable.

And the protection of cultural relics is not in place. Even if the mausoleum can be opened smoothly, the protection of cultural relics is still not 100% sure. Qin is a big gathering place of world treasures. Once there is damage, it can be said that it is a big loss.

The mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor has two inner and outer walls, and the inner and outer walls have walls about 8- 10 meters high, and there are still relics.

The enclosure of Qin Shihuang's mausoleum forms a three-step ladder, which looks like a bucket and the bottom is approximately square. ?

The Han dynasty inherited the Qin system. In the Qin dynasty, one foot was about 23 cm, and fifty feet was about 1 15 m. 4 14m in the first lane of Qin dynasty and 2,070m in the fifth lane. The bottom area of the enclosure is about 250,000 square meters, and the height is 1 15m, which is probably the original scale of the Qin Shihuang Mausoleum (another message: the initial height of the enclosure is 120m, which is like a mountain).

However, after more than 2000 years of natural erosion and man-made mining, the existing sealing soil is much smaller than the original sealing soil. The bottom area of the enclosure is about 1.2 million square meters, and the height is 87 meters.
