If the only thing we saw on our trip to China had been the terracotta army, it would have been worth it. I had longed to see these figures from the first time I ever heard about them after their discovery. You just have to be there to experience the magnitude of this great Wonder of the World, the most important archeological discovery of the Twentieth Century. It's thrilling.
The Terracotta Army was discovered in March 1974 by local farmers drilling a water well to the east of Mount Lishan, the man-made necropolis of the First Emperor of the Qin Dynasty; [Qin Shi Huang].
