Editing Qin Shi Huang (section)

==Death and Legacy==

Obsessed with immortality, Shi Huang attempted to develop an elixir of life. Ironically, this hastened his own demise, given the detrimental effects of the mercury he experimented with.

His tomb, famed for the Terracotta army that guards it, was built over the course of 38 years by 720,000 men, an example of both the vast power and the ego that characterized this emperor.

Even in death, a lot of blood was shed in his name.

His empire fell soon after his death due to the fight over who would take his place, and was replaced by the Han dynasty in 202 BC.
