Editorial Reviews
Janet Bren, Fate, August 2004 : "Cotterell's ability to relate science to religion. . . will provide the reader with plenty of food for thought."
Book 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 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 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 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.
***** Some fresh material, astounding insights, August 28, 2004
By econdude "econdude" (Omaha, NE United States)
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
* Utter Silliness, December 13, 2005
By Gerald B. Keane "jbkesq" (Sarasota, Florida USA)
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.

Based on the short version on sina, it does not sound like the book is about deciphering some secret WRITING where cryptography applies. Anyway I'll go read the original.
The author had written some other "decoding" books (see below). Whether or not he is an expert on encription, it seems that he likes the smell of apocalypse and perhaps he's been dug around the dust or set off on his spiritual journey for long. :-)
I am interested in looking him up to see what kind of author, engineer and scientist he is.
"The Lost Tomb of Viracocha: Unlocking the Secrets of the Peruvian Pyramids"
"The Tutankhamun Prophecies: The Sacred Secret of the Maya, Egyptians, and Freemasons"
"Jesus, King Arthur, and the Journey of the Grail: The Secrets of the Sun Kings"
"The Supergods: They Came on a Mission to Save Mankind"

好像秦始皇墓还没有完全开掘吧？ 至少我去那时候没有，看来现在市场导向，时兴古代文物的洋炒作哈。在秦朝时候如果有自转公转的科学观，我又瞎猜了，西汉的浑仪发明岂不是多此一举，居然开了历史的倒车？

据说现在的古文物保存技术不过关，这也是世界性的难题。明定陵发掘时，很多文物出土后都很快风化损毁。所以所以自从定陵发掘以后，中国政府决定今后不再发掘古帝王陵墓，等到技术成熟时再说。
前几年听说日本人要出资与中国合作发掘秦始皇陵，但是被中国方面谢绝。

丹布朗的小说以情节曲折取胜，对人物的刻划不怎么样，所以文学性比较差。但是作为消遣读物还是不错的。
我个人觉得“Angels and Demons"最好，"Deception Point"也相当不错，都是page-turner，hard to put down。“Digital Fortress"差一点。

Decrypted:
A long long time ago
I can still remember how that music used to make me smile
And I knew if I had my chance
That I could make those people dance
And maybe they'd be happy for a while
But February made me shiver
With every paper I'd deliver
Bad news on the doorstep
I couldn't take one more step
I can't remember if I cried
When I read about his widowed bride
But something touched me deep inside
The day the music died
....

Decrypted:
But something touched me deep inside
The day the music died
{Refrain}
So, bye-bye, Miss American Pie
Drove my chevy to the levee
But the levee was dry
And them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye
Singin' this'll be the day that I die
This'll be the day that I die
Verse 2
Did you write the Book of Love
And do you have faith in God above
If the Bible tells you so
Do you believe in rock n' roll
Can music save your mortal soul
And can you teach me how to dance real slow
Well, I know that you're in love with him
'Cause I saw you dancin' in the gym
You both kicked off your shoes
Man, I dig those rhythm & blues
I was a lonely, teenage broncin' buck
With a pink carnation and a pickup truck
But I knew I was out of luck
The day the music died
I started singin'
{Refrain}
Verse 3
Now for ten years we've been on our own
And moss grows fat on a rollin' stone
But that's not how it used to be
When the Jester sang for the King and Queen
In a coat he borrowed from James Dean
In a voice that came from you and me
Oh, and while the King was looking down
The Jester stole his thorny crown
The courtroom was adjourned
No verdict was returned
And while Lenin read a book on Marx
The quartet practiced in the park
And we sang dirges in the dark
The day the music died
We were singin'

As you can see, the first encryption actually is not even any type of encryption. It should be called encoding. Caecar cipher was used, and as you indicated, it is shift 8. Now I am going use another classic encryption/encoding technique to process the poem. This time I am going to use HILL method:

让我想到三峡工程，因为水位上涨，许多文物被淹没（包括出土和未出土的），结果地方政府开始象消防队员一样开掘文物。在重庆市博物馆的露天停车场，堆砌了许多临时的木箱子，里面就是蕴藏着巴文化的千年文物（失散的还不在其中）。有些地方是与不断上涨的水位赛跑，一定要在xx天内发掘xx个古墓。这也是我们良知政府的决策。
要说三峡工程完全是失败，可能为时过早，但是对文物的破坏是没有先例的。与其这样突击破坏，可能还不如淹在水里等后人打捞来得现实。

不知三峡工程和美加的St Lawrence Seaway工程怎么比。三峡水壩将是世界之最，将有32个发电机，产电22500MW（可供一半中国用电？）。并提供从东海到内陆2,250公里长的万吨轮水路。以及修建、维护的花费和代价呢？这条水运路有什么举足轻重的地位呢？不修三峡大坝，发电和水运其他解决方案的得失？
St Lawrence Seaway五十年代末建成，十个村落，几千英亩地，挖出当地埋掉所有没有认领的墓地和所知的印第安文物和化石。这个总长3,766公里，包括多个水壩船闸运河水电站十五个大港（半数是深水港）的工程，建成了连通大西洋和五大湖的15,285公里水路。 一直以来该水路的营运占北美的70％，在现代巨轮出现后以及亚太海上贸易超过欧美贸易后，仍然保持有30％的营运。
该工程在当时堪称世界之最。
