  1. Lol. I clicked on it cos I thought it was from the Nok culture in Nigeria. Nok culture existed in modern-day Nigeria from around 500 B.C.E. to 200 C.E. Nok culture is known for its unique terracotta sculptures and its early iron working.

  2. I like the fact how the Emperor Qin has so many purposes about this Army in his mind like as a representation of Military Organization, symbol of power and prestige, A Belief in the Afterlife or a Funerary Art. The significance in cultural and historical views is notable all the time.

  3. There must be Li Xin or Meng Tien hidden somewhere in the tomb. Li Xin fought alongside the Emperor in the city of Zai before the unification. As the unbreakable sword and formidable shield of the Emperor, Xin's grave possibly in the Emperor's tomb too.

  4. Been able to visit there a few months ago. It's in Xi'an, Shanxi province. For those who are interested in these must visit this place once . It's actually huge .. all those warriors have unique structural features.

  5. If you understand Chinese culture it's not difficult to understand the line of thought behind this burial (granted the scale is still magnificent). Chinese believe in blessing material goods into the afterlife, even now there are still customs of burning paper made replicas of homes, cars, tv appliances, etc for the deceased. So this is a very natural extension of that practice, albeit at a much higher level of opulence.

    Also fun fact, the neighboring farmers actually dug out a lot of bricks and clay to build homes (unknowingly of course)because it was so easily accessible and at such high quality lol

  6. Chinese here. Some scholar in China argues these actually belong to First Qin Emperor's great grandmother (宣太后, 芈月), who was very important in Qin history. She was princess from Chu kingdom, where soldiers will have pigtail style hair to one side of the head, just like these Terracotta Warriors.
