The First Emperor of China: Quests For Immortality & The Terracotta Army

In this week's episode, we are moving from Mesopotamia over to China as we cover the period of the warring states, the first emperor of China, his quest for immortality, and, of course, his terracotta army.

How was this game of thrones won when China was not unified? What secrets does his tomb hold? And did he consume mercury?
