These are the warriors, and there are over 6,000 of them. They all have different, individual faces. Its China’s self described, eighth Wonder of the World. It is pretty cool, and probably the most significant archeological discovery in the 20th century. It was a buried army that was supposed to take care of one of the ancient emperors, after he died.
This is what one of the many excavated pits looks like. It’s about as big as 3 football stadiums put together.
These warriors are in the museum in Xian (Zion in Chinese) where they have a fabulous collection of ancient art. Xian was the capitol of China for many hundreds of years.
