Description
The terracotta warriors are a collection of thousands of life-size clay figures of soldiers, horses, chariots, and other artifacts that were buried with Qin Shi Huangdi, the first emperor of China, in the 3rd century BCE. The terracotta army was discovered by accident in 1974 by local farmers who were digging a well near the city of Xi’an in Shaanxi province. The terracotta warriors are considered one of the most remarkable and mysterious discoveries from the ancient world, as they reveal much about the culture, history, art, and warfare of the Qin dynasty. The terracotta warriors are also a testament to the emperor’s obsession with immortality and his desire to conquer death. The terracotta warriors are now displayed in a museum that covers the original excavation site. The museum attracts millions of visitors every year and is regarded as a UNESCO World Heritage Site
