Object: Qin Shi Huang Di
21:00 THE FIRST EMPEROR
http://www.channel4sales.com/programming-and-schedules/channel4-schedules.aspx?date=16-02-2006
With exclusive access to new archaeological finds, The First Emperor
reveals the secrets of one of the most powerful men who ever lived. Qin
Shi Huang Di forged an empire that outlasted Rome by a thousand years
and ruled over ten times more people than the pharaohs. He unified the
country we know as China, built the Great Wall, and his tomb - as large
as the Great Pyramid at Giza - was guarded by an 8,000-strong,
life-size terracotta army. Yet few in the West even know his name. For
the first time on Western television, and combining documentary and
dramatic reconstruction, The First Emperor brings him to life after two
millennia and sets out to discover whether the extraordinary stories
that surround him could actually be true - was he really buried in an
immense tomb surrounded by a vast model of his world, including rivers
of flowing mercury? Until the 1970s all that was known about the First
Emperor came from one document written a century after his death. But
when farmers digging a well uncovered terracotta figures, everything
changed. After 30 years of digging, the full scope of the tomb is
becoming apparent - the burial complex stretches for seven square
kilometres, while the tomb itself is the size of a football pitch. The
First Emperor features interviews with experts, led by Professor
Jeffrey Riegel, who are conducting exciting new investigations at the
site, including ground-penetrating radar and soil samples that, for the
first time, reveal the tomb structures and confirm that the stories of
rivers of mercury may be true. Dir: Nic Young; Prod: Lucy Van Beek;
