5Terracotta Army

A group of archaeologists made a remarkable discovery in Xian, China in 1974. It was reportedly the greatest discovery of funeral art ever: the Terracotta army. Thousands of clay soldiers were discovered buried close to the tomb of the first emperor of China Qin Shi Huang.

The soldiers were meant to protect him from numerous opposing forces in the afterlife. The structure is reported to be 2200 years old.

There were also a number of different weapons buried there as well. Everything was arranged in different clay corridors. There are a total of four main underground pits. Three include soldiers and weapons. The fourth is empty. Many areas of the tomb and complex remain unexplored. Click On the Next Button to See Next.

  5. Hi!
    To be fair, that is not always true. In fact, when I initially publish the articles that i write, you can scroll. So keep a closer eye on this website and you will be able to scroll the articles before they are permanently formatted. Oh, and let’s be clear: Many other websites also use that click next format as well. Thanks for your comment. I will assume from your brief missive that you think everything else is perfect or at least to your individual liking.
