Here it is the clay army built over 2,200 years ago to protect the tomb of Qin Shi Huangdi.
Three pits are being excavated- There are about 8,000 soldiers, archers and horses. Now I'm a little confused between fact and fiction, because our guide told us with a lot of conviction that there were still 300 pits in the surrounding grounds unexcavated. I believed him and was impressed with the idea, but since I've been home and reading up a little on it I haven't found anything to back up that hypothesis. Wikepedia says in this "necropolis" complex they have discovered a 90 foot building above his tomb using sensing technology, but these so called other pits??? I'm sure there's still a lot to be discovered.
