Abstract
A detailed mercury survey was carried out over the mausoleum of the famous Emperor Qin Shi Huang. A strong, well defined anomaly was found in soil samples collected on the central part of the tomb mound. The anomaly presented a direct evidence for the authenticity of the accounts stated in Shi Ji (the first comprehensive Chinese historical writing completed about 109-91 B.C.) that there existed a large mercury reservoir in the underground basement of the Emperor's mausoleum.
