How did it come to be that the soldiers were buried? Was this by natural means over the centuries or were they buried on purpose after the emperors death?

You mean the Qin Terra Cotta Warriors and horses? I would believe the second saying.

they were buried on purpouse in his tomb

They wern't covered in dirt, they were carved(clay) slaves carved clay like the form of the soldier^^ hope that helps!

soon after his death, one of his generals snuck into the tomb, destroying much of the statues, and burying the tomb. destroying much of the work that had gone into the tomb.

He wanted an army to protect him as they did when he was alive, most likely to protect him from all the people he had killed.
