First unearthed by a farmer in 1974, these are some of the 秦始皇兵马俑 (Qin Shi Huang Bing Ma Yong), or soldiers of the Qin Emperor. More commonly known as the Terra-Cotta Warriors. One of the more important archaeological finds of the 20th century.
Displayed in the same pit they were uncovered in, many of these ancient sentinels are well-preserved, and they are all unique. No two look the same. While showing the area of Pit #1 in more scale, this shot only represents about 5% of the area of the pit.
Excellent photo....that place is wonderful and very interesting...take a look in my album ..I also went there in this trip and took some pictures of this soldiers of terracote.
