First Emperor, The: The Man Who Made China

Synopsis: Combining re-enactments, expert commentary, and impressive graphic re-creations, Discovery Channel’s THE FIRST EMPEROR: THE MAN WHO MADE CHINA traces the ingenious and brutal rise of Qin Shi Huang, the young king who, over two millennia ago, transformed seven warring states into a united empire under the command of a single ruler. Increasingly haunted by the thought of vengeful soldiers in the afterlife, it was Qin who constructed the mausoleum complete with its 7,000-strong terracotta army to protect him after his death.
