China's first emperor launched an obsessive search for the elixir of life before dying aged 49 in 210 BCE, new archaeological research has revealed.
Someone told me a kind of ancient astronaut theory to do with this: that aliens put up the Chinese emperors to finding the elixir of life for their own purposes (something to do with harvesting minerals from earth) and gave them some special technology in return. I wasn't clear if this idea was the plot of a sci-fi novel or something that some people actually believe.
