- The real faces of the Xian Terracotta warriors who fought during the Warring States period in Ancient China which ultimately led to the Qin state's victory in 221 BC as the first unified Chinese empire, known as the Qin dynasty. The Terracotta Army's history dates all the way back to some 2,200 years ago. The construction began in 246 BC. The Terracotta Army was designed to guard the first Emperor of China, Qin Shi Huang in the afterlife. Over 720,000 laborers worked for approximately 40 years to complete it.
Special thanks to the Institute for Planets 星球研究所 for providing some useful information to this project.
Just amazing and to think it was only uncovered in 1974, you have done a marvelous job in recreating the statues, it is like there were bodies inside them.
I had the great opportunity to visit this site in Xi'an in 2011. It was an amazing experience. I was also fortunate to meet the old farmer who was digging the well and discovered this treasure. According to our guide he is well cared for by the Chinese government.
One of my college roommates was from Xi'an, China, and he looked exactly like the Terracotta Warriors.
Which one?
@@dieule1354 Not the ones in this video, but the other one
@@YurinKawasumiThen which one in the other video?
How completely amazing!! I'd say that this Emperor got himself built an even better tomb etc than the Egyptian Pharaoh's! And to think of using Mercury! I was thinking of how many people contributing to the inner tomb would've died from Mercury exposure, until I read when you said that many were killed to keep it secret anyway!! Yikes 😳. Absolutely wonderful though, and cool how different those figures were according to rank, position etc!!
I kept thinking if there was a possibility for those workers to dig a tunnel (if they had the tools with them at the time) and get out before the mercury poisoning kicked in.
This is amazing. I have seen these faces many times in documentaries. They explained each soldier was made in the likeness of a soldier in real life. I am late and am saving your video not just for tomorrow but to share with friends. Thank you so much. Regards .
Cada soldado de Terracota se presupone ,fueron tallados por los artesanos conforme al Real ,ninguno es Igual 🙄😳😦.INCREÍBLE TRABAJO DE EDICIÓN 👋🏻👋🏻🙏
Master piece of your work. Thank you for your great contribution 🙏
just incredible how you bring this to life. I love the combination of the heads and your use of interesting background information. You are a true master at this!
Wow, I look almost exactly like the first guy.
The man in 4:28 is more like an indigenous tribe man from South China. He looks very much like a Southeast Asian. At that time, South China was not an area of Han Chinese. Modern southerners are a mixture of northern Chinese and indigenous people, and the indigenous people of South China are actually Southeast Asians.
😂No you don't, we han don't look like you from south east asia
@@Jin-o9u The fantasy time of the indigenous people in southern China.🤣
@@Jin-o9u wet dream of south "Chinese" 🤣
Those indigenous people are modern northern Vietnamese today. Bai Yue (Bach Viet) tribe lived area from Southern China to Northern Vietnam.
@@개고기수프 we hakka people are the real han not you short viet from south east asia aka jungle Asian
2:13 looks like my friend.
Just an extraordinary work. Another one.... One of the best for me. Thx à lot. And happy new year to you and your family.💥💥
Happy new year!
The first guy has moustache....🙃
Fascinating!!! Happy New, prosperous and healthy Year to all!!!!
How about the Khan's the Mongols
0:43 he looks like Jet Li ancestor.
2:48 dude looks badass. Wouldn't want to face him in battle.
No mid rank oficer long face looks like korean idol
The appearance of these two men is very common in North China.But the man in 4:28 is more like an indigenous tribe man from South China. He looks very much like a Southeast Asian. At that time, South China was not an area of Han Chinese. Modern southerners are a mixture of northern Chinese and indigenous people, and the indigenous people of South China are actually Southeast Asians.
@@channeliseng2951 How about first guy? If he makes up, he will looks like Korean idol
Simply amazing! The history and the images! ❤️❤️❤️
Please bring part-3 ...
For sure 🙂!
@@panagiotisconstantinou From the Song Dynasty onwards, the portraits of Chinese emperors are so realistic that you can try to recreate them.
If is true that all the craftsman's and workers we left behind inside by now the place will be in ruins after been destroyed by them in anger. Make sense ?
Appreciate your amazing work , ive seen these terracotta figure everywhere , but man , you’ve brought this to another level. 👍🙏👏🍻
Thank you so much 😀
Do you know how FANTASTIC it is to see the faces of warriors from 220 BC or thereabouts? Amazing. I knew each was unique and modelled from a living man but this is just mind blowing! Thank you. Shame about the cruelty that absolute power gives a man. If only their names had been inscribed.
The faces were modeled on living men in his army however I doubt they stood 5' 9" to 6' 7" in height. I believe some of his troops were West Eurasian.
The Austronesian influence is strong on their faces
A lot of chopping heads were required to unite the different tribes to form a country with one language, one form of writing, a standard of measurement and one cultural identity.
That's why the Chinese race got their name from this Emperor.
You can see the different tribes in the costumes of the Terracotta Army.
很特別🙂
they have some kick ass hair style back then
Surely amazing job😊👏 on historical events in Imperial China. That is still can be more interesting to have known of every Terracotta soldier to be identified with 😃👍(big/serious curiosity). I can not count how many of Terracotta military people who served during the reign of the first Emperor of China, Qin Shi Huang in total.. I can not imagine that Emperor had built his mausoleum ,had he not? 🆗️, by the way, I cordially thank you for your wonderful project and Christmas to you!!
Bellissimo video!!! Sicuramentw ci sono i mezzi per sapere cosa c'e' nella tomba, solo non ce lo dicono.
La excelencia es tu firma de presentación.
Super interesante pero como siempre este pueblo es cruel y muy sanguinario¡¡ tantos trabajadores de la tumba que murieron¡¡¡ Gracias por llevarnos a conocer ésta parte de la Historia¡¡
Puedes revivir al Nabucodonosor, Narim Sim rey de los Acadios? muchas gracias 😍
SPELLBINDING!!! What great artistry and a fantastic way to visit History!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!
@Panagiotis Constantinou I enjoyed it immensely! I'm in my 70's and came along before computers. I am fascinated with what you are able to create! Ms. S.
incredible
Is there any forensic evidence of the workers who were buried with the treasure; skulls, bones?
They haven't opened it yet.
@@panagiotisconstantinou where did you get the statue samples of terracotta?
@@MTC008 a Chinese guy sent it to me some time ago.
@@panagiotisconstantinou they say the faces of these terracottas are actually based on each real person with their actual faces in it, so i can say your artwork could be 100% accurate
Fascinating recreations
Does anyone know the music?
Nobody does! I just sucrificed a few goats and this video came out of thick smoke...hhhsss hhhhsss
@@panagiotisconstantinou But what about the original source of the music you used in this video? Can you tell me that?
@@panagiotisconstantinou Never mind. I found it using Midomi. It is Minecraft Norse Mythology OST.
❤️
They suffered so much… so many lives taken to pleased this one crazy man… handsome, and brave… I hoped they reached haven and forever be blessed.
It's amazing that so many statues had individualised features.
As much as the emperor great skill himself, i would not like him to life today. His death also bring other people death. Imagine many skilled warrior, artist and architect dead because "following" him.
The same thing happens today, you have student loans, rents, boring jobs, overpriced products, low salaries and at the end you have nothing to show. So getting sealed in a rich guy's tomb doesn't sound so bad.
@@panagiotisconstantinou there is opportunity in living with student loans, boring jobs, etc but trapped till starve to death ... Not so much.
@@panagiotisconstantinou 殉葬(Soon Jang : When the king dies, the servants are killed and buried together.) is bad. Shang dynasty(BC 17c ~ BC 11c) burials were very common. They have been hunting the barbarians around them. like the Aztecs. But during Qin Shi Huang's reign, the soon-jang was considered a waste of human beings. That is why the terracotta, not the human, was buried in the tomb.
Great artwork. Happy new year
Happy new year
Outstanding! 🙂
Thank you! 🙂
Four Beauties please
FKING AMAZING!!!!
Amazing. They all look different
I heard there were 12 to 15 faces that were repeated over and over but I cannot verify that without further research.
@@HOPROPHETA that seems logical. Thank you 🙂
He was saying that all Asians look the same to him.
Well arabs and indians are also in asia but they are not the same
Chapeau ❤️
Nearly a million people killed for the burial of one man and his wealth...disgusting.
They do the same nowadays. It's called multinational companies 😃
@@panagiotisconstantinou no... It's called the CCP
@@KasyomLook up what Shell did in Africa a couple of decades ago
Some humans always did something cruel because of power
@@Kasyom Should read about King Leopold of Belgium and his exploits. Real piece of royalty.
Probably the closest I'll ever get to that tomb was an exhibition of the Terracotta Army in Germany in 2003. They had original size replicas of 122 warriors and eight horses, and smaller size replicas of the whole army and the tomb in formation. Even that was very impressive. Just as a work of art, the workings behind, megalomania, slavery and killing certainly aren't.
