The Qin Dynasty and the Terracotta Army (221–206 BCE) #terracottaarmy #history #shorts
The Qin Dynasty, under Qin Shi Huang, marked a period of unification and centralization in ancient China. To guard the emperor in the afterlife, the Terracotta Army was created—a vast collection of life-sized clay soldiers and horses. This monumental project reflected the emperor’s desire for immortality and the grandeur of his rule, symbolizing the consolidation of power in imperial China.
