The west bank of the river, home to the world's most iconic monuments, the mightie pyramids of giza. The pyramids once house the bodies of the fair rows, but though ancient egyptian civilization lasted for nearly three thousand years, its kings only built huge tunes like these for a few centuries. Egyptologists are still trying to piece together why the faeroes stopped constructing giant pyramids. For egyptologist Chris norton, the majesty of the ancient structures makes the fact that egyptians gave up building them all the more incredible. Ten miles south that the legended pyrates of gea is sara. But when we think about parameters. we tend to think of these are, I think, in the great pyramid of coffee in particular. But actually. this is where IT all began. Chris has come to the birth place of pyramid building to search for clues to why egyptians built giant pyramids for less than five hundred years, constructed a century before the iconic pyramids at giza. Egypt's first pyramid, ID is a two hundred foot toll mozilla of six huge limestone platforms, carefully engineer to spread the weight of rock and prevent collapse. Deep inside is a giant shift, twenty six feet wide and eighty two feet deep at the bottom, the intended final resting place of the fair. Ro, Josie, ultimately. that's what is all about. That's when the body of the king is going to rest in eternity. And so we've gone to always trouble to create this incredible monument around the body of that person, pretty mazing . to how his mommy, huge chunks of granet, was slit down a passage into the and stacked, creating a giant psychotic. Gus nineteen, nine feet long and eleven feet high. Michael l, these pieces are a huge . well made, but this wasn't just a tomb designed to secure the faeroes physical body for eternity. Crucially for success in the afterlife, the pyramid ID ensured the king was remembered by the living. Completed around two thousand six hundred and fifty B. C, IT Sparked an architectural revolution. Josey's six tear giant wasn't just the first pyramid. IT was the world's first monumental structure built in stone over the next century, egypt ings developed the concept building monumental tunes all along the nail's west bank, including the first geometrically true pyramid, the red pyramid and the mishap experiment. The best pyramid then identify of faeroes built the most iconic monuments in egypt, the parameters of giza.

Fu Xing: I read that some people believe he was killed by enemies because there were broken bones in his head.
Peter: Yes. However, researchers now think that may be wrong. A CT scan showed that he had a wound on his leg. Later, a DNA test showed that he had a serious illness. So they believe those could be the causes of his death.
Fu Xing: Well, that must be true since scientific tests can be trusted more.

$What happens after death? Is there a restful paradise, eternal torment, a rebirth? Or maybe just nothing in less? Well, one chinese emperor, I thought that whatever the year after was he Better bring army? We know that because in one thousand nine hundred seventy four, farmers dig a well and near their small village stumbled upon one of the most important finds in archaic logical history, vast underground chAmbers surrounding that emperors and containing more eight thousand life size clay soldiers for battle. The story of the soft terran ian army begins with嬴政,who came to power as the king of the king state at the age of thirteen. In two forty six. B, C, E, ambitious and ruthless, he would go on to become秦始皇帝,the first emperor of china. After uniting its seven warring kingdoms, his thirty six year rains on many history. Accomplishments, including a universal system, awaits the measures. A single standardized writing script for all of china and the defensive buriers that would later come to be known as the great wall. But perhaps雪皇dedicated so much effort to secure his historical legacy because he was obsessed with his mortality。He spent his last years desperately employing alchemist and deploying expeditions in search of a lexus of life that would help him achieve immortality. And as early as the first year of his rain, he began the construction of a massive underground. The crops is filled with monuments, artifacts in an army to accompany him into the next world and continue his role. This magnificent army is still standing in precise battle formation and a split across several pits. One contains the main force of six thousand soldiers. Each way in several hundred pounds a second has more than one hundred and thirty war areas and over six hundred horses, and the third houses the high command, an empty fourth pit, suggests that the grand project could not be finished before the emperor. In addition, nearby chAmbers contain figures of musicians and acrobats, workers and government officials, and various exotic animals, indicating that I had more plans for the afterlife than simply waiting war. All the figures are sculpted from Terry cotton or backed earth, a type of redish ground clay, to construct multiple workshops. And reportedly over seven hundred and twenty thousand labors were common, geared by the empty, including groups of artisans s, who mulled each body part separately to construct statues as individual, as the real warriors and the emperors army. They stand according to rank and feature different weapons and uniforms, distinct hair styles and expressions, and even unique years. Originally, each warrior was painted in bright colors, but their exposure to air caused the paint to dry in flake, leaving only the terror T. A base IT is for this very reason that another chAmber less than a mile away has not been achievable. This is the actual tub of秦始皇帝reported to contain palace pressure stones and artifacts and even rivers of mercury flowing through mountains of bronze。But until the way can be found to expose IT without damaging the treasures inside, the tomb remains sealed. Amortising was not alone in wanting company for his final destination. Ancient egyptian tombs s contain clain models representing the idea of after life, the dead of japan's coffee period were buried with slpa res of horses and houses, and the graves of the janna island of the mexican coast are full of ceramic c figurine. Fortunately, as ruthless as he was, a britain chose to have servants and soldiers built for this purpose, rather than sacrificing living ones to accompany, as have been practiced in egypt, west africa, anatolia, parts of north amErica and even china during the previous shuang and joe dynasties. And today people travel from all over the world to see these two soldiers silently awaiting their battle offers for centuries to come.
