@natgeotv: 52 years ago today, the Terracotta Army was discovered outside Xi'an, China—an ancient marvel that stands as a testament to the power wielded by China's first emperor, Qin Shi Huang Di. 🎥: #AncientChinaFromAbove
If none of the figures looks the same, each must have been made based on a real person.

It's sad we don't know the names of the soldiers they're based on but at least they're immortalized in a small way.

The tomb of the Emperor has not been located yet. But, I read that even if they find it, they will not open it until they have the technology to preserve the artifacts inside of the tomb. Plus, the tomb is reputed to have traps that can pose a danger to those opening it. Archaeologists have to be extra cautious.

To be able to think different (more than 6000) facial expressions is creative, respect to the craftsman

So true, you really have to see them in personal otherwise you won’t feel how imposing and stunning it is. That’s how I felt when I visited it, nothing like seeing them in photos or on TV.
