On March 24, 1974, over 2,000 life-size warriors made of terracotta were unearthed at Mount Li (Man 7). Today, there are estimated to be over 8,000 warriors (Dafoe). The Terracotta Warriors commissioned by Emperor Qin Shi Huangdi (221-206 BC) are arguably one of China’s greatest discoveries. The terracotta warrior pits consist of four pits, three containing warriors, horses, and other military objects while the fourth pit is empty. The First Emperor’s commission of the terracotta warriors served various purposes. The First Emperor’s spiritual beliefs and successful unification of China influenced the commission of the life-size warriors. Ancient Chinese funerary practices believed in giving the deceased the tools they would need to be comfortable in the afterlife. This practice can be seen throughout the burial grounds of Emperor Qin Shi Huangdi’s mausoleum. The First Emperor of China created his mausoleum and terracotta warriors to reflect the living life he once ruled and help him transition into the afterlife. Emperor Qin Shi Huangdi’s afterlife was meant to reflect his living one by representing the regions he once ruled through tomb décor and the terracotta warriors. The grounds where the terracotta warriors are buried serve to protect Emperor Qin Shi Huangdi in the afterlife through the Taoist practice of geomancy. The combination of geomancy and life-like appearance of the terracotta warriors were most likely used together to protect the unification of China. The mausoleum and burial grounds serve as a representation of Emperor Qin Shi Huangdi’s accomplishments and a place of protection for his eternal sleep. Emperor Qin Shi Huangdi also commissioned the warriors to monumentalize the thousands of warriors who helped the First Emperor unify China. To fully understand the purpose of the terracotta warriors, it is important to know the role real-life warriors had in the First Emperors’ life.

A landmark biography by the New York Times bestselling author of Genghis Khan and the Making of the Modern World that reveals how Genghis harnessed the power of religion to rule the largest empire the world has ever known. Throughout history the world's greatest conquerors have made their mark not just on the battlefield, but in the societies they have transformed. Genghis Khan conquered by arms and bravery, but he ruled by commerce and religion. He created the world's greatest trading network and drastically lowered taxes for merchants, but he knew that if his empire was going to last, he would need something stronger and more binding than trade. He needed religion. And so, unlike the Christian, Taoist and Muslim conquerors who came before him, he gave his subjects freedom of religion. Genghis lived in the 13th century, but he struggled with many of the same problems we face today: How should one balance religious freedom with the need to reign in fanatics? Can one compel rival religions - driven by deep seated hatred--to live together in peace? A celebrated anthropologist whose bestselling Genghis Khan and the Making of the Modern World radically transformed our understanding of the Mongols and their legacy, Jack Weatherford has spent eighteen years exploring areas of Mongolia closed until the fall of the Soviet Union and researching The Secret History of the Mongols, an astonishing document written in code that was only recently discovered. He pored through archives and found groundbreaking evidence of Genghis's influence on the founding fathers and his essential impact on Thomas Jefferson. Genghis Khan and the Quest for God is a masterpiece of erudition and insight, his most personal and resonant work.
