Inventions.


One of the most famous in invention during the Qin dynasty is what we call today The Great Wall. Emperor Qin forced hundreds of people to work on the wall. This caused many deaths to occur. It was built between 220-206 BC. The purpose of the wall was to protect the empire against intrusions by the Xiongnu people from the north. During the Qin dynasty it was known as the long wall but later it became so large that they changed it to what we know today as the Great Wall. Another invention that was discovered around 1974 by farmers digging a well. It was the terracotta army that Qin built for his tomb. He wanted to be remembered as something big and his army to rest with him when he dies. Qin designed this army to look like every individual person in his army. Each one had different facial features. Construction of the Terracotta Army began in 221 BCE and ended in 209 BCE. Qin also forced people to work on this. Many people died during his dynasty but from it we have these great things that were made.
