Roughly 2400 years ago an Chinese emperor named Qin (pronounced Chin) ruled China he ordered the construction of many fabulous wonders. In northern china the great wall stands because of him, in central the terracotta army. The Terracotta army was a massive shrine to his "ever lasting greatness". When Qin died he was buried here. The terracotta army was discovered about 40 years ago and has given historians a glimpse into china's past. The Terracotta army contains clay figures or statues of ancient Chinese soldiers. This soldiers were to serve the emperor in his afterlife. This wonder was constructed for death but shows historians life.
Thousands of figures were made perfectly with out the use of machinery, a solid feat. Years of dust and decay buried these figures for about 1500 years. In 1974 farmers discovered this work of art and since then it has been excavated and protected. It is considered a world wonder. Now flashback to the days of emperor Qin and explore this blog.....
