China's First Imperial Capital: Built By Ambition, Burned By Revenge | Xianyang

Описание: This was China's First Imperial Capital. It was Qin Shi Huang's paradise on Earth, and his personal "trophy museum." It was more than ten times larger than Rome at the time—a monument to the insane power of a unified Chinese Empire.
But hidden within its walls—or lack thereof—was a plan even crazier than his Terracotta Army: a project to replicate the entire Milky Way and the Mandate of Heaven on Earth.
It was so vast, so impossibly ambitious, that this capital—a fortress city that had stood unconquered for centuries—had no defensive walls at all.
Join us in this episode, as we uncover all the secrets hidden within China's First Imperial Capital.
