The Terracotta Warriors
Maurice Cotterell Hardback - 336 pgs When the first emperor of unified China, Ch’in Shi Huangdi, felt his death approaching, he decreed that he be entombed within a pyramid protected by an immortal army of terracotta soldiers.
In 1974 the first of more than 8,000 of these life-size terracotta warriors, each weighing a half a ton, buried circa 220 B.C.E. was discovered.
The author shows how Shi Huangdi-like Tutankhamun, the Mayan lord Pacal, and Viracocha in Peru-was a keeper of the sacred solar science – a science that taught that the soul was truly immortal. Using his unique understanding of how and why ancient civilizations encoded this extraordinary knowledge, Cotterell decodes the emperor’s farewell message concealed in the statues—a message that reveals the true meaning of life and the imperishable nature of the soul.
