About:Emperor Qin Shi Huang

Have you heard about his tomb? there is a lake of mercury and no one can get in because of it's fine building there is treasure so people want to get it.
the people who built it got buried alive because of course they know how to get in and out of the tomb without getting killed.
simple as that.

Frankly, that is ridiculous. Mercury is a rare element found on earth, and to find not only a lake of it, but a pure form that could be used has a "poison lake" in a tomb would have been next to impossible. Even with the high levels of mercury detected in the area, its very doubtful it is high enough to indicate a "lake". The amount of mercury required for such an endeavor would have been ludicrous as well.

The reason they don't excavate it further is because they worry about damaging the already fragile remains.

Try researching better in the future.
