I like to imagine the archeologists’ excitement, “Finally, one we can look inside of without breaking it!”

[babyjeebies]

What I love about this situation is that this is just one of the many side chambers of Qin Shi Huang's tomb and he saw this chamber full of statues as so unimportant that it didn't even make it into the official records

[AnakinSkywalker-xrth]

Goodness, imagine walking through the rows and rows of those statues when they were in their prime.... I wonder which would be more eerie, brand new, or centuries old?

[SsjDeBusk]

they are probably the real likenesses of his army made from clay.

[dreamsrmadeof]

the soldier had a bust made of himself as part of their military duty.

[Lumosnight]

I went to Xian and saw these warriors - most of them are broken and the scientists are actually trying to piece them together, and no, there aren’t any skeletons inside 😂

[cemm]

Standing among them in Xian, you have a weird sense that they’re moving just out of your field of vision. Very weird, unearthly but cool sensation!

[Bloodydemise]

All of these statues were beautifully painted at one time. But exposing them caused the paint to deteriorate so fast!

The story of this has already been discovered. These were made base on real soldiers before then went on the field. Every soldier of Qin Shi Huang’s army is the model of one piece. That is the biggest honor back in that time. It means he will not take their life to serve him in his afterlife, but they will always be his soldier live or dead. And back in that time, every entitled nobles either kill or burry people alive to serve them after they died. Because his revolutionary moves, Qin Shi Huang was stigmatized of all horrible crime and guilts after new emperor took over the country. It’s sad that his sons either too nice that he took the fake order serious and killed himself without confirm or fight for justice, or too evil but useless that got the country falling and finally become someone else’s.

They can perform essentially like ultrasounds on structures as well as undergrounds. They've known for quite a long time there's no remains in there

[hellomyer]

I’ll always believe they were real and turned with ancient magic

[Bubbles-dt]

From a film the footage, like to see this historical site 😊

[SilencedWoman]

Your content is so varied. I am fascinated. Well done.

[sophroniel]

where was the footage from?? Also didn't they only have like 4 face models and only a few clothing/armor options?

[enlightenedbeing-wbrc]

Maybe they're statues of soldiers that existed

[Hoo]

I saw those Terra Cotta army soldiers when I was in Xi’an a few years ago. I think they were made as life replicas of real soldiers and generals, not exactly with their corpuses inside, but with their faces and body images replicated.

[tama_ochi]

i hope not. sacrificing thousands of living army is too much for an empire even in peaceful time with no war. but who knows. i heard he even ordered his favorite concubines to follow him and buried alive in the mausoleum.

[kaysinagi]

no the remaining statues are not filled with human remains

[kenshinbmgsksyt]

Real facts:shaung di is a brutal dictator he made those taracota warriors cause he feared that when he died the death of people or enemy will follow him so he make a taracota so its will guard him in the afterlife and also its made clay not human.

Skillful craftsmen making lifelike statues-

*Everyone:* "OH MY GOD A PETRIFIED PERSO-"
