China’s First Emperor DVD SET

The amazing story of a man who commanded an army larger than Napoleon’s, conquered more territory than Alexander the Great, created a realm that outlasted the Roman Empire, and who built the Great Wall that still stands today. This is the story of Chin — the First Emperor of China.

CHINA’S FIRST EMPEROR – His accomplishments were unprecedented, his charisma irresistible. Credited with both unifying China and tormenting its citizenry, Chin Shi Huang Di, the “first emperor of China,” is one of the most controversial leaders in the nation’s history. His reign brought advances such as standardized currencies, weights and measures, unified written and spoken language and transportation systems. In battle, too, he was centuries ahead of his time – creating assembly lines (two millennia before Henry Ford) to mass-produce precision-crafted swords, arrows and other weapons. History™ dives into the ruler’s complex legacy, from the brilliant military strategies that created an empire to his plans for the original Great Wall.
