Emperor Qin's Terra-Cotta Warriors

Unbelievable The Terracotta warriors were huge. Housed in 4buildings the size of football fields are rows and rows of warriors, horses and carriages made of terracotta clay. Their construction began in the era of Emperor QinShihuang, the first emperor in Chinese history, during the Qin Dynasty in the year 247 BC. This emperor did great things for the country like standardizing weights and measures, handwriting and politics. But he also spent his entire life fearing death and searching for the elixir of immortality. He believed that when he died there would be a continuation of life under the earth. He surrounded his mausoleum with this huge army of clay soldiers to protect him. In other areas surrounding his grave, they have even started to find clay figures of entertainers and clay animals.
