In March 1974, a discovery that would astonish the world took place near a mountain in central China, approximately 800 miles south of Beijing. While digging a well, peasants stumbled upon what would be recognized as one of the greatest archaeological finds of the 20th century: the Terracotta Army of Qin Shi Huang, China’s first Emperor, buried since 200 BC. This video takes you inside the enormous structure that now shelters this national treasure, providing a protective cover for both the figures and the scientists dedicated to their preservation.
