Retropunk Mechanics!

[Bob Schroeck]

I vaguely recall the Emperor Qin Shihuangdi having something like...a giant scale metal model of China. Or something. With complex mechanical bits. Flowing mini-rivers of mercury, that kind of thing.

That was supposed to be in his rather hugish tomb. Which has been found, although not opened/excavated yet. Ground radar scans, though, have detected the mercury, according to some articles from 2002 that I found with Google and Wikipedia.
Oh, and this is the same guy who set up the terracotta soldiers.
