It was never lost. The location of the tomb is recorded in numerous historical records, mostly notably "Shiji", where the author gave detail description on the building process, location, makeup of the tomb.

However, it is consider very rude to rob (excavate) tombs in Ancient China, especially when the said tomb belongs to the "first emperor" and rumor to be heavily guarded.

The main mausoleum remains intact today, but some of the side burial pits containing burial offerings have been excavated.
