9. Tomb of Qin Shi Huang, China
The tomb holds the secrets of China’s first emperor, Qin Shi Huang, who died after conquering six warring states to create the first unified nation of China. After his death, he was buried in the most opulent tomb along with anything he would ever need in his life . The ancient Chinese, along with many cultures including ancient Egyptians, believed that items and even people buried with a person could be taken with him to the afterlife.
But instead of burying his armies, concubines, administrators and servants with him, the Qin emperor came up with an alternative: clay reproductions known more recently as the Terracotta Army.
10. Lascaux Caves, France.
Lascaux is famous for its Palaeolithic cave paintings, found in a complex of caves in southwestern France. They contain some of the best-known Upper Paleolithic art. These paintings are estimated to be circa 17,300 years old and have exceptional quality, size, sophistication and antiquity. Visitors are restricted from entering as the caves are in peril because of the infestation of white mould and fungus.
