It took 10 days for every figure to fire and there is a chromed plated sword on display there. And the City of Xi'an has a wall built around a modern city

one of the most interesting Cities in the world very beautiful. A farmer found the first artifact while digging a well. He helps with the planning of the Museum. I would like to see the inside of the Emperors tomb that would be exciting.

[nfldude28]

[Labtechbaby]

I wonder how many warriors they've dug up so far?

[ThumperOU]

i learning about dis in school

[coolcatevan9]

me too,We are going to see them in washington D.c on March 15th!

[teir525]

that would be really creepy if all of the warriors were human... then they were somehow turned to clay, it almost seems like thats a possibility because every single one has a different face.. haha but i dont think thats very true.. anyone ever thought about that

[ara9876]

the figures are real soldiers of his army

[LaxinItUpX]

Everything is according to rank. Height, facial features, position in the pits ect.

[rokclover54]

[shugolover10]

@yche332 infact, every single face of the soldiers are different.

This is one place I have always dreamt of going to since I was very young and seeing it in a National Geographic Magazine... I am going to China next year and guess where I am going. Thank you so much for this piece...

The British Museum in London has this exhibit called "The First Emperor - The Terracotta Army". I saw it, Not to be missed if you're in london.

[katalina2007]

Very imformative, thank you! I appreciate you having a tour guide explain everything. When we visited XIAN, CHina in Summer of 2005 we did not get this explanation. The original farmer was there, signing his name :) He must be VERY old now!

[alanhudsonesq]

Fantastic, nice post! I love this Terracotta Army and would dearly like to visit your site one day. I haven't seen much evidence of armourments though, I would have thought that there should be swords and bows and arrows. I guess that the digging still continues and there are many things yet to be discovered. Amazing..

[LaxinItUpX]

I can answer that. When a rival general looted to tomb and set fire to it causing damage to the soldiers, he also took the original weapons that the soldiers held.
