"Shows how Shi Huangdi - like the pharoah Tutankhamun, the Mayan lord Pacal, and Viracocha in Peru - was a keeper of the sacred solar science of the ancients, a science that included a sophisticated understanding of the effect of the sun on earthly affairs, fertility rates, and personality... Cotterell deciphers the emperor's farewell message concealed in the terracotta warriors - a message that reveals the true purpose of the life and the imperishable nature of the soul." - from dust jacket.
