Emperor Qin's Tomb

Each of these warriors was armed with spears and other weapons, but in the peasant uprising following
Qin's death the weapons were stolen and all the terra cotta figures were smashed.
In the foreground are warriors that have already been reconstructed. At the far end of the building
warriors and horses are still being reconstructed from pieces uncovered in the pit.
