The Underground Palace

The underground palace is the core of the whole mausoleum. It is where the outer coffin and the inner coffin of Emperor Qin ,as well as the buried objects were place .according to historical records and recent archaeological survey, the nearly square shaped palace consists of three parts the main burial chamber and he passages between them. In the center of the palace lies the main burial chamber , in which the coffin was placed. Burial objects were arranged on all sides of the main burial chamber. The latest researches show that the underground palace is about 30 meters in depth and that there is intense mercury contamination as far as 1200 square meters around the underground palace. It can therefore be conclude that what was described in historical records as rivers and seas of mercury is in fact true and reliable. This indicates that the interior of the mausoleum is a ground and gorgeous palace filled with treasures, and protected by ingenious security measures.
