7. Photo from Kiwi Mikex The underground palace is arguably the most elaborate structure in its grandeur and amenities. It could be an abode of long-buried treasures like precious gems, metals and other wealth. This intricate bronze-lined, waterproof construction extending over four square miles took the labor of 700,000 prisoners of war and slaves for its completion after which they were killed to stop them from divulging the tomb's secret. To make Qin Shi Huangdi's second life as pompous as his life on earth, his mistresses were buried alive in this tomb as well.
