In 1974 a group of peasants digging a well, made what was to become the greatest archaeological find of the 20th century when they unearthed fragments of a life sized Terra Cotta Warrior. Excavation of the vault revealed thousands of warriors and their horses, an entire army designed follows its emperor into eternity.
The site is located 1.5 kilometers east of the Qin Mausoleum. The emperor's terra cotta army was found in three underground timber lined vaults. Pit 1 contained chariots and ranks of six thousand soldiers. Pit 2 held fourteen hundred figures of cavalrymen, horses and infantrymen, along with ninety wooden chariots. Pit 3 contained about seventy figures. Excavating them has been a massive undertaking. To date, more than a thousand warriors have been reassembled.
The Qin Terra Cotta Army Museum, a hangar-like building constructed over Pit 1, place of the original discovery in 1974 opened in 1979. Later in October 1994, Pit 2 opened to the public. Now the museum is a stunning display that every visitor to China should see.
Have you seen the amazing terracotta army? Thousands of life size soldiers, standing in military formation with their vivid facial expressions frozen for eternity? When they were created these soldiers were decorated in bright, rich colors. Sadly, these colors have been affected by the ravages of time, the elements as well as the fire and destruction caused by those who overthrew the Qin Dynasty. Recently, a technique has been devised to preserve the remaining colors which still adhere to some of the figures. Now, for the first time, the Terracotta Warriors Museum in Xi'an has been able to exhibit two kneeling archers with much of their original color since May 1, 2002. These are two of the seven kneeling archers that were excavated in Pit 2 during March 1999.
