Description

PLEASE, no multi invitations, glitters or self promotion in your comments, THEY WILL BE DELETED. My photos are FREE for anyone to use, just give me credit and it would be nice if you let me know, thanks - NONE OF MY PICTURES ARE HDR.

This is one of the most amazing archaeological sites I have seen, to me this was far more impressive than the Great Wall - but thats me.....

The Terracotta Army was discovered in March 1974 by local farmers drilling a water well to the east of Mount Lishan, the man-made necropolis of the First Emperor of the Qin Dynasty.

It is believed that the largest pit (#1), holding over 6,000 figures of infantrymen, chariots and horses, was representative of the First Emperor’s main army. This feature faces east and covers an area of 172,000 square feet.
