A 6 foot tall Terra-cotta soldier and his horse. Can you believe that Chinese’s ancestors are 6 foot tall? This is one of the amazing historical site you have to see it to believe it. It’s not supposed to be found. Some old guy was digging a well in 1970s, and found the place. It was amazing how huge the area is. China government stop digging on #2 and #3 tomb, due to the damage they found. Once the tomb is opened, the color of the objects are fading away. and they dry out and collapse.
You have to see it by yourself and listen the story about the history of China. It’s amazing how it were built and how it was not supposed to be found few hundred years after it was built. One thing worth to mention is that none of the soldiers are smiling. Each single soldiers are different. There were made by the slave, who look at each other and made the faces of others. They don’t smile, because they all know that they will be buried with the soldiers after they finished the works. They will also be executed if they made mistake. It’s a brutal world.

They were modeled after real humans–this is what I know. They were made to guard the tomb.
@arytirek:
No. They are not real human. However, many of the crafter are buried under the ground after they finished their jobs. It’s just amazing to see how they were made.
@宝茹:
Yeah. It’s not supposed to be found. You just need to visit the place once in your life time. The story of the tomb is just too amazing.
