The tomb of China's first emperor
Enzo George
- Reading
- Look through the photographs and timeline together; pause to distinguish established historical details from what remains only a possibility about the unopened chamber.
- Themes
- Archaeology and preservation: The book describes technology being used to learn more about the tomb while preserving artefacts. The book presents this mainly as information or explanation.
- The unopened burial chamber: The chamber is unopened; treasures, secrets and a deadly mercury river are raised as possibilities. The possibilities create intrigue, but the book's treatment of them beyond that framing is unclear.
- Worth knowing
- Pay particular attention to fear and suspense.
