Xi'An Dispatch: Warrin' Terra
XI'AN
So basically you're the Emperor and you're obsessed with death, so you build an enormous army of terra cotta soldiers to defend you in the next world. Granted, there's no proof there's a next world, much less the ability to transform terra cotta into some supernatural bodyguard force, but what the heck. You're the Emperor. You get to do what you want and you can have hot concubines and your wife can't complain.
And the next time you think your boss sucks, imagine working to build a tomb for a guy who has you killed when it's completed. What's the incentive to finish on time? No wonder it took 36 years.
