18. Tomb of Qin Shi Huang – China
The Tomb of Qin Shi Huang, officially known as the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site constructed from 246 to 208 BC and is situated under a 76-meter-tall tomb. The tomb itself has not yet been excavated and is forbidden to be entered. Current excavation efforts surround the Terracotta Army in the extensive acropolis surrounding the tomb. The first fragments of the warrior statues were discovered in March 1974 and excavation efforts persist to today.
