My World Population Me

I think Sundays in the myworldpopulationme realm will become educational Sundays. This may last no longer than today, but we’ll see how it goes. Anywho, today I want to talk about the upsides of slavery. People always seem to go all negative nancy on the subject of slavery but let’s take a minute to re-think this.

Slavery is awful, yes I agree, but it has also brought us pretty much every great architecture structure since the early 1900′s! We wouldn’t have pyramids or the terracotta army without it! For those of you unfamiliar with the terracotta army it was built by Qin Shi Huang, China’s first emperor who lived around 250 BC-200 BC. He created the first version of the great wall of China, he also developed a mausoleum filled with the terracotta army. The terracotta army is a series of life sized sculpted soldiers (6ft-6ft 5in) all lined up in rows. There is over 8,000 soldiers, 130 chariots with 520 horses and 150 cavalry horses discovered to this day. Is this necessary? Absolutely not, but is it awesome? Fuck yes. He also created a mausoleum for his burial grounds that supposedly has a gigantic lake of mercury in a miniature world depicting a city, a ceiling studded with jewels and spans 56.25 square km’s. These are the kind of things that we will never see again as we eliminate slavery… such a catch 22.

it only took 720,000 volunteers to make this!
