Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
Explains esoteric secrets of the sacred solar science encoded in the massive army of terracotta warriors that guards the tomb of Chinese emperor Ch'in Shi Huangdi.
• Decodes the farewell message of the very first emperor of China concealed more than 2,000 years ago in the 8,000 terracotta warriors that guard his tomb.
• Shows the spiritual principles of this sacred solar science and its remarkable insights into heaven, hell, and the immortality of the soul.
• Latest book by the bestselling author of The Tutankhamun Prophecies and The Lost Tomb of Viracocha.
When the very first emperor of unified China, Ch'in Shi Huangdi, felt his death approaching, he decreed that he be entombed within a pyramid and that his tomb be protected by an immortal army of terracotta soldiers. In 1974 archaeologists discovered the very first of more than 8,000 life-size terracotta warriors, each weighing half a ton, buried circa 220 B.C.E.--near this emperor's pyramid tomb.
Maurice Cotterell shows how Shi Huangdi--like the pharaoh 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. The keepers of this science taught that the soul was immortal and was destined to transform into star energy or be reborn on Earth, depending on an individual's spiritual progress in his or her lifetime. Using his unique understanding of how and why ancient civilizations encoded this extraordinary knowledge, Cotterell decodes the emperor's farewell message concealed in the terracotta warriors--a message that reveals the true purpose of life and the imperishable nature of the soul.

There is absolutely not one word of substance in this book. There's not all that much about the warriors and what there is so ridiculous that one is inclined to suspect that the author is putting us on. The tabloids at the supermarket checkout counter have more substance than this nonsense.

I am ambivalent about the latest book by Maurice Cotterell. 'The Terracotta Warriors' merits a five star rating but I have some reservations about the book. For those interested in the statues uncovered in China the book is worthwhile. Since I've read several other books by Maurice, it was a bit of a disappointment because he simply continues the theme of reincarnation and how humans escape to enter a higher state of being, or heaven, or however a person wants to phrase it, with a limited amount of new material. The appendices contain nothing new, as I recall. For someone who has not read any books by Maurice, the book will appear to be profound and full of insights that no one but Maurice has realized for hundreds of years (probably with the exception of some limited number of people belonging to secret societies). For someone who has read other books Maurice wrote, they will find a magnificent explanation of the significance of the Terracotta Warriors: the significance of the number of warriors in each pit, the significance of each type of face (representing different Chinese [written] characters), and so on. I also enjoyed tidbits such as a page or two devoted to information about Hitler's quest for esoteric knowledge and search for artifacts such as the Spear of Destiny. Of course, Maurice revealed a profound fact about the number 666 and what humans are made of (perhaps a coincidence, perhaps not).
I highly recommend all of Maurice's books. For those who have not read Cotterell previously, I might recommend 'The Tutankhamun Prophecies' instead. For those who have read some of Cotterell's books, I think 'The Terracotta Warriors' is definitely not a waste of time to read, but I wouldn't be in a rush to buy it. econ
