to 221 BC, during the Warring States Period. He became the first emperor of a unified
China in 221 BC He ruled until his death in 210 BC at the age of 49. Calling himself the
First Emperor after China's unification, Qín Shǐ Huáng is a pivotal figure in Chinese
history, ushering in nearly two millennia of imperial rule. After unifying China, he and
his chief advisor Li Si passed a series of major economic and political reforms. He
undertook gigantic projects, including building and unifying various sections of the Great
Wall of China, the now famous city-sized mausoleum guarded by the life-sized
Terracotta Army, and a massive national road system.

Chinese pyramids are ancient mausoleums and burial mounds built to house the
remains of several early emperors of China and their imperial relatives. About 38 of
them are located around 25 kilometres (16 mi) - 35 kilometres (22 mi) north-west of
Xi'an, on the Qin Chuan Plains in Shaanxi Province. The most famous is the Mausoleum
of the First Qin Emperor, northeast of Xi'an and 1.7 km west of where the Terracotta
Warriors were found[citation needed]. Chinese pyramids were also built during the Han,
Tang, Song, and Western Xia dynasties.[citation needed]
They have flat tops, and thus are more similar in shape to the Teotihuacan pyramids
north-east of Mexico City, Mexico than to the pyramids in Giza, Egypt. Although known
in the West for at least a century, their existence has been made controversial by
sensationalist publicity and
with wonders as great as anywhere else, rivals the Ancient Egyptian , Persian,
Greek or Roman civilisations and empires. With mad emperors to boot.
