Terracotta Army Site
An underground army of 8,000 clay soldiers guarding an emperor/Archaeology & Antiquities
The Terracotta Army is a collection of roughly 8,000 life-sized clay warriors, 130 chariots, and 670 horses buried near the mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang, China's first emperor, near Xi'an. Created around 210 BC, each figure has unique facial features. The three main pits cover approximately 22,780 square meters. Pit 1 alone contains over 6,000 figures arranged in battle formation. Discovered accidentally in 1974 by farmers digging a well, the site transformed our understanding of the Qin dynasty's military and artistic capabilities.
