Over 2,000 years ago a clay army of more than7,000 was built of unique faces and different clothes along with chariots, horses, and archers. All of this was built to guard what lay inside the chamber it protected. Qin Shi Huang (the emperor)was obsessed with the afterlife he beleived in. He built this army to accompany him in it. Crazy, right. And what's even more crazy is that this is the emperor of China who was the founder of chinese writing, their weights and measures, and built a sereis of highways and the first version of the Great Wall of China.
My Opinion
I disliked the emperor because he called thousands of people to build this enormous tomb just for him and his imaginary afterlife. In the video provided by National Geographic it says that it took 37 years to build the Terra Cotta Empire. I don't think people should've wasted 37 years building somthing that won't happen. Also, Qin Shi Huang killed all his wives and many others - the day he died - he wanted to enjoy his fairytale afterlife with(source ononimous).

I like the facts that you have stated in the list. One thing that i noticed was that you spelled anonymous wrong. One thing you could have done is that you could have put a different question because i think that question might be very common and the answers would be kind of the same.
