Xian Terracotta soldiers July 13-17 2005 (6)
A very small fraction of the 8 to 9,000 life size statues excavated to date. The bright coloured uniforms and skin pigment fades soon after excavation therefore they have stopped untill they can better preserve them. They surround an entire replicaca of his palace but buried upside down....and surround by an army estimated to be 200,000 life size soldiers, horses, chariots and wagons. The protect the remains of emperor Qin...His body was positioned according to the best feng shui,, his head at the foot of a mountian and his feet in a river... a river of mercury.
