Archaeologists were called to the site. Since that day an entire clay army ---more than 8,000 soldiers, horses, and chariots –has be unearthed. No two of the soldiers look alike. Each one once help a real weapon to fight off some unknown enemy. Who built this amazing clay army and why?” (p. 168)

The Big Picture Shang Dynasty ended in 1100B.C. Years of turmoil Qin began to build up Qin’s ruler ordered building of a great clay army Real battle in 221B.C. he led a read army to control the Huang River delta All of northern China conquered Qin general declared himself China’s emperor renaming himself Shihuangdi, The “First Grand Emperor” saying the Qin dynasty would last 10,000 years

Farmers Build the Empire A united China expanded in land and from tax money Money came from the farmers Highways linking cities were built by the farmers Strengthen and connect walls in the northern steppes to keep invaders from the north out which will later evolve into the great Wall of China, 1500 miles long Farmers ”were the backbone of the Qin Empire” (p. 170): farmers, builders, soldiers. Lives centered on seasonal floods Fed the emperor with their crops of rice, wheat and other items.
