Pit One, with 6000 warriors

Xian, China view map

The first glimpse of all this evokes more than just a "wow!" response. To an atheist, almost
a religious experience. Perhaps it is the sudden awarenss of the scale of the obsession and
labour involved in creating these warriors, and the thought that the restoration which the
archaeologists are doing with them now involves a similar degree of obsession and labour.
