Are the terracotta warriors and horses one of the world s top ten ancient tombs?

The Terracotta Warriors and Horses belong to the national first-class cultural relics and have high historical and cultural value.

The Terracotta Warriors and Horses of the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang are underground tunnel-type civil structure buildings, which belong to the burial pits, and their mausoleum properties are close to the pyramids of Egypt and the Taj Mahal of India. In 1987, the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang and the Terracotta Warriors and Horses Pit were approved by UNESCO for inclusion in the World Heritage List.

In chronological order, the "Seven Wonders of the World" are commonly referred to as the Pyramid of Khufu in Egypt, the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, the Temple of Artemis, the Statue of Zeus of Olympia, the Mausoleum of Mausolus, the Colossus of the Sun God of Rhodes, and the Lighthouse of Alexandria.

China's Qinling Terracotta Warriors and Horses are known as the "Eighth Wonder of the World". Among these eight wonders, only the Pyramid of Khufu and the Terracotta Warriors of Qinling remain. This shows the scarcity of the remains of the terracotta warriors and horses of the Qinling Tombs.

Summary. The Terracotta Warriors and Horses, also known as the Terracotta Warriors or Qin Warriors, are the first batch of national key cultural relics protection units and the first batch of China's World Heritage Sites.

The Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang is the mausoleum of the first emperor Ying Zheng (259 BC 210 BC) in Chinese history, located at the northern foot of Lishan Mountain, 5 kilometers east of Lintong District, Xi'an City, Shaanxi Province.

The Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang was built from 246 BC to 208 BC, which lasted 39 years, and is the first large-scale and well-designed imperial mausoleum in Chinese history.
