There is spelling mistake in the “death” section. “Although his eldest son Fusu was firt in line to succeed him as emperor”

I think firt is meant to be first.

Source 80: "Stayin' Alive: How the Immortal Jellyfish Cheats Death" written by 15 year old[edit]

A stronger source should be used here. The linked article, while published by NYT, is an essay written by a 15 year old. The source cited in the essay (Gannon, Megan. Livescience) incorrectly lists Qin Shi Huang's age at death as 39, so that may not be a good source either. Domenceus (talk) 03:09, 27 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
