Terra-cotta Soldiers The terra-cotta soldiers were made to protect the first Emperor Qin Shi Huangdi in the after life. There were 6000 life-size figures. Archeologists have not found two of any of them that are the same. They were designed to be only the emperor in the afterlife. 1400 more soldiers were found in nearby chambers.

They were manufactured in workshops by government labors and craftsmen. Everything was created separately and made a realistic appearance. They had tools, precious jewels, and rare objects. They were made of pure terra cotta. They all had facial features that were unique. They vary I height, uniform, and hairstyle. Their original weapons were stolen and they used to have color but now it has faded away.

If you were wondering how they were discovered as here is your answer. They were discovered as archers, soldiers, chariot drivers, and horses. All of them are unique and facing east to lead the emperor in the afterlife. In 1974 archeologist found the tomb of emperor shi huangdi where they discovered the terra-cotta soldiers. In other chambers of the tomb there were 1400 more terra-cotta soldiers. They were buried with Qin in 209-210 BC. Local farmers discovered them on March 1974. They were on mount Li in four pits.

No one really knows how many workers made all of them. Qin cloned all of his real soldiers into terra-cotta soldiers to protect him in the afterlife. Archeologists are still putting the parts together at this very moment. Also they are finding more terra-cotta soldiers in other pits/chambers. Archeologists are hoping to find more.

7400 terra-cotta warriors were made to protect the first emperor of china Qin Shi Huangdi they were made by government labors. Archeologists found them in 1974 on March with some help from some local farmers. Every single one of them were unique and would vary in everything. Their hairstyle was vary important because if anybody ever accidentally cut some of their hair off they would go to prison for four years. I wonder how much more warrior are there?
