The group of life-size clay soldiers and other figures - commonly known as the "Terracotta Army" - discovered near Xi’an, China, are reported to total as many as 8,000 in number, although more conservative estimates place this figure somewhat lower (in the region of 6,000-8,000). Archaeologists have located 600 pits across a 22-sq-mile area since their accidental discovery in 1974. Figures excavated so far include soldiers, archers, horses, chariots, officials, musicians and acrobats.
The army was originally produced under the instructions of Qin Shi Huangdi (who proclaimed himself first emperor of China in 221 BC), and was intended to accompany his funerary tomb. Mass-produced using moulds, each finished figure has a unique face. Some 40,000 bronze weapons - including battle axes, crossbows, arrowheads and spears - have also been recovered. Their sophisticated protective chrome plating means that these items remain well preserved after more than 2,000 years.

That would have taken an insane amount of effort to make all those clay models…props to the workers that made them! Wow.
I’m guessing they didn’t have much of a choice…
Pppppp I will you like the pic you want a babybel I will no we have the money in your mailbox with a babybel to go home yet so very very very I don't know how long I want my I want my baby brother I am so very I want a refund to talk with me to come to the
Not to mention they had to be unique
No wifi so they went crazy
Maybe they didn’t, there is evidence they were transported to the second dimension using the pigment han purple which the figures are all painted with, it is a very valuable and rare pigment so it’s strange they used it at all.
They come in all shapes and sizes, no figurines are the same! Can't believe it was made thousands of years ago!
This man has done more to change people's lives than almost anyone else in the last decade...........
FYI.. they were originally painted with many colors..air oxidation upon exposure made the color disappear
Amazing vid..thanks alot for luvly posting
I visited Xian during my school overseas trip, we got to see the Terracotta Warriors it was pretty cool

Emperors , you peon
Amazing 😄💖
Muito legal ótimo vídeo
Nice 👍
What a wonderful thing 💜
Something very strange about these soldiers. They are all painted with a paint called han-purple. Which is the only pigment that can switch back and forth between the second and third dimension or something like that. What people suspect is these were real people that actually turned to stone and were transported to another dimension with the Han purple or something like that.
Wow
Wow that’s really interesting or something like that
@@areedashridbeek it is, or something like that.
@@kiloton1920 crazy how something like that is now being discovered because something like that is amazing. To be honest on what you were saying about the purple stuff my grandpas grandpa makes that stuff and he said it can transport you to the 6th dimension something like that
@@kevincano96 I believe it!
the warriors made their self so it started as a cool amazing area
This army looks suspicious. Maybe the late rulers used the army to fight by bringing them to life!. Not kidding this could happen as in earlier days there were powerful enchanters
Indonesia ❤️
How are still so well standing despite being thousands of years old
This looks so much like from the movie *The Mummy*

I just played GeoGuessr and got this place wish I watched this video before playing
If they were made of clay how could those statues survived till this day?
Probably a mix between the right material in the terra cotta and the type of soil it was buried it. It also probably helped that it got burned at one point, helping set the clay. Many other ancient clay artifacts have lasted due to these reasons outside of Asia.
History has had this funny was of surviving. There was even a bible once found in an Irish bog, that survived because the acid in the mud was perfect to keep the leather and the skin from going bad.

RIP to all the workers! I pray that their souls are in peace and joy on the other side. I pray the emporer is being punished and is facing justice for his evil and cruel crimes.

I got a question as an unseen passage related to the terracotta army in my English exam 😂😂

So all the statues were at least decades older than venus de milo but they wore decent clothes unlike the bare loin clothes wore by the most advance european civilization at that time?

The first empire is not today's chinese. They were different races. This is why china is so afraid to open the cave for it.
What? They were han mate, so apparently Americans are not actually Americans?😂
Not that reason..they still dare not enter the inner palace.. because of color oxidation..
These terracotta warriors were actually colorful..
Hidden in the inner palace are the officials , ministers , emperor etc etc
I just love it when the notification pops up
"someone liked your comment" or " you got a
