Preserving the Terracotta Warriors of Xian

Over 8,000 terracotta soldiers were buried alongside an ancient Chinese Emperor, 2,200 years ago. When the burial chambers were discovered in 1974, it was hailed as one of the world's great archeological finds. However after being uncovered, the warriors became vulnerable to fungi, which threatened to destroy them. A Johnson & Johnson company, Janssen Pharmaceutica in Xian, China, provided anti-fungal solutions to help solve the problem and preserve this historic wonder.
