Terracotta Warriors!

This part would be my most favorite part of the China journey, had I gone! It was my specific request for Bryce to bring back a warrior for me! Here are some pictures and tidbits of info about the interesting discovery.

The figures vary in height (6ft–6ft 5in), according to their role, the tallest being the generals. The figures include strong warriors, chariots, horses, officials, acrobats, strongmen, and musicians. Current estimates are that in the three pits containing the Terracotta Army there were over 8,000 soldiers, 130 chariots with 520 horses and 150 cavalry horses, the majority of which are still buried in the pits. Each warrior has their individual look and not one looks the same, which makes it all that more interesting.
