Qin ruled for 11 years China for eleven but he started ruling the Qin state when he was thirteen.

Qin was really scared of death and was obsessed with immortality but when his alchemist did not find a way for making him live forever he started building the terra-cotta warriors to come with him to the afterlife to protect him. The terra-cotta warriors where life size clay soldiers and each of them where unique each of them had their own heights and their heights determined the place they had in the army, they where painted with different colors. The terra-cotta warriors where discovered by farmers in 1974 when they where digging a well. They thought they would find only a few but instead they found thousands. Currently they have found three pits of terra-cotta warriors and are estimated to have found over 8,000 soldiers,130 chariots with 520 horses and 150 cavalry horses, there where also people that where not from the military like musicians and acrobats.

Qin not only built the terra-cotta warriors but also started the building of the great wall of china.
