The Terracotta Army in northwest China, in one of the provinces, is located 30 minutes from Xi'an. It is there that the silent troops are located, which never took part in the battle. Why should a soldier fight.
At the moment, everyone wants to see such an army live. Around that territory there is a small town where they sell souvenirs in open pavilions. The funeral army of the emperors is also exhibited there.
Shihuangdi is the very first of the rulers who became a special emperor of China, he managed to implement two grandiose projects. He managed to unite six ruined and scattered states. Thus, the emperor created a very significant empire at that time. For the first time in world history, China became unified, it took the title of the first emperor, which made the country great.
The emperor connected several defensive structures, he was also able to subordinate them to some meaning and thereby built the Great Wall of China. Shihuang Ti firmly believed that his dynasty would be forever at the helm, so he strove to live exclusively on earth. In search of the elixir of eternal life, the emperor was able to build a tomb. Which was located 1.5 km from the eastern territory of his country, where he buried a military camp, which consisted of terracotta soldiers.
At first, he wanted to bury about 4,000 soldiers there alive, who would guard his mausoleum, such a barbaric act would cause a huge storm of indignation. By that time, the emperor was able to prepare an army of clay, he would not accompany him in the other world.
Two millennia of the existence of this army were dark times for it, no one knew about the existence of such troops. Once, while digging a well, a ding resident of a village, a peasant by occupation, came across such burials and found a whole army of horses and soldiers under the ground. The figures included infantry riflemen, horse riders, and war chariots.
The statues that were found in the burial were facing east. Many clay soldiers are endowed with very wide mouths and rather thick lips. No one person is exactly the same as another. Each figure is considered a copy and portrait of a real resident of the snake.
The sculptures of the warriors were surprisingly very light, but they managed to shake the whole world with their believability.
