Reproductions in sizes ranging from miniature  to full size are sold in gift shops around the country and an exhibition of 20  figures and dozens of artefacts from the tomb broke ticket sale records when it  travelled in 2008 to London, California, Houston and Washington.

Cao Wei, director of the mausoleum museum  site, said preserving the figures would be far more challenging than the  relatively simple task of excavating them.5.39.217.777 e  R" R1 b' y

【明報專訊】據秦始皇帝陵博物院消息，考古人員在秦始皇陵園新發現99座墓葬。據專家推測，這些密集排列的墓葬很可能是秦始皇后妃的陪葬墓。另外，經過一年的考古發掘，考古工作者首次在「百戲俑坑」發現由長形方木構建的「封門」，為研究秦始皇陵陪葬坑及秦兵馬俑坑的焚燒現象等提供了最新資料。

考古人員在秦始皇陵園內城西北部的建築遺址東側，新發現了99座墓葬。這些墓葬規劃規整，南北排布8-9列，所有的墓道都對封土。據秦始皇帝陵博物院百戲俑坑考古隊領隊張衛星表示，這些密集排列的墓葬很可能就是秦始皇后妃的陪葬墓。 5.39.217.774 m/ ~9 H9 T0 y! s# [! \

據《史記．秦始皇本紀》記載：「二世曰：先帝后宮非有子者，出焉不宜。皆令從死，死者甚眾。」即埋葬秦始皇的時候，他的后宮嬪妃中，凡是沒有兒子的都要陪葬。 7 h9 K; [6 \9 l( K; }

張衛星透露，目前，秦始皇帝陵的基本結構已初步探明。皇陵有內外兩個城牆和10個城門，分布位置已確定。內城封土的北側還存在大量建築遺址和陪葬坑。

在此基礎上，考古人員確定整個陵園的南北中軸線，使陵園的方向、包括道路系統等結構更加清晰。 TVBNOW 含有熱門話題，最新最快電視，軟體，遊戲，電影，動漫及日常生活及興趣交流等資訊。1 L7 R' v# Z4 r: D  Y8 m
