As
a part of the mausoleum, the terracotta warriors have dazzled the
world. But the materials unexcavated are also worth studying. Qin
bricks and tiles, engraved with decorative patterns, are strew everywhere
around the tomb. There are many satellite tombs built for accompanying
Qin Shihuang. Ministers, princesses and princes, the famous and
the not so famous were inhumed there. The burial pits for horses,
rare birds and pottery figures were ever regarded as the sacrificial
objects to the Emperor. Hence the remains from these tombs and pits
are beneficial for archaeologists to make further research.
Hopefully one day, the entire mausoleum will be unearthed and displayed
to the public.
