Tomb of Qin Shi Huang, China

The Terra-Cotta Warriors of Xi’an is considered to be one of the most significant findings of all time. There are thousands of unique lifelike statues that portray ancient Chinese soldiers filling up secret caverns of the burial ground for China’s first emperor, Qin Shi Huang. It looks like the king acquired some homeowner’s insurance even in the afterlife.

Although the site is one of China’s most popular tourist spots, the tomb itself is still a protected mystery. It is most likely that the tomb will still stay sealed in the near future since there are rumors that there are booby traps around the area against invaders. A deadly high concentration of mercury is also lingering around within the tomb so it would be unsafe for anyone to enter without proper safety measures.
