Re: Terracotta Army
Surprised they are still unearthing stuff after 50 years, and still putting them together.
Re: Terracotta Army
They are still finding more at sutton who, versuvius and Herculanium. Takes time and money to excvate the are without damaging the artifacts.
There is a touring show of copies and it is interesting, but I feel that might be moree inspiring to see the actual site.

Re: Terracotta Army
I visited there about 5 years ago.
Fascinating place. Obviously you couldn’t get right up to them but the walkways got you right round the whole building. There were separate exhibits that weren’t in the main room. They were working on restoring some of the figures while we were there.
Probably a never ending task.

Re: Terracotta Army
The Terracotta Army are just the bouncers too right? They haven't even begun to excavate the mausoleum the soldiers are actually guarding
