I can't get enough history documentaries. I really like this one about the Terracotta Soldiers of Qin Shinhuangdi. The discovery of thousands of soldiers in 1974 is one of the greatest archeological finds in modern history. This led to the discovery of Shinhuangdi's tomb who was the first emperor to unify China. He was a cruel leader and only a hard authoritarian would make a tomb of such spectacular size and scope. The tomb has never been opened because of the possibility that doing so would destroy precious artifacts within. It's a great story.
