A little background info on Emperor Shih Huang Ti 1
When Emperor Shih Huang-Ti becameKing at age 13, he wanted a powerful
army and kingdom that he could rule
after his death.
So he commanded that his burial tomb
to be build. It took 36 years to build.
Inside the tomb is an enormous army of
around 8,000 life-size warriors and
chariots made of clay. Amazingly every
single one of the soldiers also has a
different face!
As the years passed after emperor's
death, and time went on, the roof of the
tomb collapsed, leaving it hidden from
prying humans until 1974.THE TERRACOTTA WARRIORSTHE TERRACOTTA WARRIORS
