Each Warrior has unique facial features
It’s not just soldiers. There was also a pit full of stone armor and several pits full of horse skeletons
The warriors were painted
The First Emperor’s tomb has never been opened
More than 2,000 warriors and horses have been excavated from three different burial pits with an estimated 6,000 still buried underground
6 7 8 9 10
All of them participated in the first emperor’s search for immortality
The figures were an early feat of mass-production
The warriors carried real weapons
There were no historical records of them existing
They were discovered completely by accident
