Qin Shi Huang was the founder of the Qin dynasty and the first emperor of China. He invented the title huangdi rather than reuse the existing title for king; the new title was used by monarchs in China and other countries for the next two millennia.
Facts
Birth YearWikipedia's infobox gives his birth as February 259 BC; only the year is recorded here because dates before 1 AD are stored as a signed year in this atlas, following the convention already used for Cyrus the Great, Hammurabi and Ramesses II. Death YearWikipedia's infobox gives his death as 12 July 210 BC; only the year is recorded here for the same reason as his birth-year. Sources
