. . . . and it was all done so long ago in the Qin Dynasty ……
Impressive again. But I don’t like the roof. They’ve done similar things here on newly discovered Maya sites, and they make it look like a supermarket… 😦
Here, they have put a giant roof over it to prevent the figures from being attacked directly by the elements. I don’t like it either.
There is a vast unexcavated tomb of the Qin Emperor nearby which China hesitates to excavate – I visited the site this time.
There are several unexcavated sites in Mexico. ON purpose. They feel the site is better protected from the elements. And thieves…
The Qin Emperor grave is enormous, they wouldn’t want to touch it yet for the same reason.

I hope to see this ‘for real’ one day. Thanks for sharing a great photo!
Yeah, have to see the real thing!
Are these miniature, I mean, were these sculptures tiny or human-sized?
They are all human sized !
I have never seen this in reality, but it has to be one of the most remarkable works of art anywhere in the world. It’s mind boggling!
