Terra Cotta Warrior Army
December 9th, 2006 by stolisano
Watch the Video from the Terra-Cotta Video :
Each warrior is unique. Not one face looks like another. Some of the warriors have beards, some have mustaches, some smile, while others have an expression of concentration. You can even tell how old they must be by looking at the wrinkles on their faces. The details these figures display are amazing. We saw one warrior that needed his fingernails cut!!!

What an awesome display!!!!
This is just incredible! I love knowing that the different poses and the way the hair is worn all mean something different.
WOW!! We would love to have been there to see this. One question we have is did Emperor Qin create a statue of himself in front of the army?
How lucky you are to be able to see that! We just finished reading a book on the Terra Cotta Warriors. It is fascinating! But we did want to know why some of their heads are missing? Do you know where the emperor is actually buried? We read that the emperor sealed people in the tomb to prevent anyone from saying where he was buried, has his secret been kept after all these years?
