What would you put in your massive mausoleum? That’s the question that Rooster and I break down on this episode of Phone It In, on which we dig into the history of the Qin Shi Huang Mausoleum and the Terracotta Army. Qin Shi Huang founded the Qin Dynasty and was the first ’emperor’ of China. Prior to that, China’s leaders were known as ‘king.’ So, Qin Shi Huang might’ve also been the first marketing expert in history given his rebrand of ‘king’ to ’emperor.’ One of his first orders of business was to build out a giant mausoleum where he would spend the afterlife. Seems a little weird for that to be so high on the priority list, but I guess if it were somewhere around 221 BC, I might feel different. Anyway, there’s no real mystery or lore surrounding this place, but it’s a neat little dive into the history about one of the more curious spots on Earth.
