Terra+Cotta+Army

=Return to My China=

Words fail me! The smell of the earth, the dampness and darkness, I feel transported back to another time. What is it like to create an army to protect you when you die? An army so big it goes on for acres and acres. Each soldier is different. There are miniatures with such detail, I try to image how they would have worked to make these pieces of art. I am overwhelmed by the sheer magnitude of this project. Today, perhaps we have a headstone or monument when we die, but this.

The workmanship is beautiful. There are teams preserving the pieces as they are unearthed. Carefully, they examine and repair each piece. What an honor to work here.

They have just discovered another field close to this one. The story goes on. media type="youtube" key="RsUE-ZtcUFg?fs=1" height="405" width="500" align="center" ﻿[|National Geographic Video of The Warriors] ﻿ [|Qin Shi Huang Terracotta Warriors Museum]
