Paul T Posted January 7, 2012 Report Posted January 7, 2012 Photo's taken at the pit location Xian China and put together to make a short slide show of this incredible collection of life size figures and chariots.The whole area was located in very poor lighting purposefully to protect any remaining colour on the figures which made it difficult to phograph. Nearly every one discovered was in many scattered pieces so all you see in this presentation have been painstakingly glued together The Terracotta Army was discovered in March 1974 by a farmer. (who I did see at the museum while in Xian) The Terracotta Army was found near the tomb of Emperor Qin Shihuang, which took 38 years and 720,000builders to complete. The Terracotta Army was buried for 2,200 years. So far 1,868 terracotta warriors and chariots have been unearthedPaulhttp://beechbrook.com/pte/ Quote
