The Museum of Qin Terra-cotta Warriors and Horses
Today's excursion will take you to modern China's greatest archaeological discovery - The Terra Cotta Warriors and Horses, which silently guarded the tomb of China's First Emperor for more than 2,200 years. In 1974, a local farmer uncovered the first of three massive earth and timber vaults while digging a well. The extensive excavation, still in progress, has yielded more than 8,000 life-sized Terra Cotta warriors, each individually sculpted with the physical characteristics of the humans they were modeled after. Archers, infantrymen, and horses, but it's only a fraction of the total buried there to protect the tomb of the first Qin emperor.
