In 1974, farmers in China's Shaanxi province accidentally unearthed one of the biggest archaeological finds of the 20th century — the life-size terracotta armyof Emperor Qin Shi Huang (259 B.C. – 210 B.C.).
The intricately carved figures aren't a mystery: Historians know that the clay army was created to defend China's first emperor in the afterlife. What isn't known, however, is where exactly the emperor is buried or what treasures his burial chamber might contain. [See Photos of the Ancient Terracotta Warriors]
A pyramid-shaped mausoleum is located about a mile to the northeast of where the terracotta army was discovered. However, no one has actually entered the mausoleum that holds Qin Shi Huang's remains.
The first emperor's final resting place is the most opulent tomb ever constructed in China, according to ancient documents describing its construction. An underground palace, complete with a surrounding "kingdom," the mausoleum is made up of a network of caves and even included a state-of the-art drainage system. Whether archaeologists will ever have the technology they need to safely excavate the tomb (which also happens to contain extremely high levels of mercury) remains a mystery, as do the many treasures that lay inside.

Stay on the straight path. Trust that this is the right road, that the rickety bridge above rough tide ahead leads to a clearing on the other side. A field, fireflies. Just keep walking. Don’t look down. Wear smart shoes. The good don’t die young—the dumb do. Your future is bright with births and rebirths, lines and liver spots, the glow of 99 candles on a cake. One day you will sit at the table, beaming, in front of the feast.
Ignore all acronyms and symbols that wear at your eyesight with the bright flashing lights of their fraudulent signs. What’s your BMI? Where’s the WiFi? Another round of series A, of IVF, #TBT, #FBF, #mancrushmonday, #stayblessed, DM me, swipe left, do not pass go. Everything is idiotic; for now just sit still with your books and the birds and the song of your heart that beats the one truth you knew by now anyway: Stay gold, Ponyboy. All you need is love.
You cannot help that friend who does not want to be helped. When she calls, dazed in the dark of night, to say the stars are exploding and there are bugs on the walls, say, "I’m so sorry," then hang up the phone. The words “save” and “love” can seem the same but they are not the same.

The line “Born and raised in South Detroit” in Journey’s “Don’t Stop Believin” makes no sense, as there is no South Detroit. Detroit, Michigan, lies on the northern side of the Detroit River, and Ontario, Canada, lies to its south.

Don’t be the girl who boasts to the women at work that she can drink more beer than the boys. Don’t tattoo the name of the state where the boy you want to fuck is from. Do the dishes before bed. Do handwrite thank-you cards. Do make your own money.
