Xi'an, Warriors, terra cotta, army, China.
There is a full museum for these warriors buried at Xi'an, in Central China, now excavated and a wonder. See www.travelchinaguide.com/attraction/shaanxi/xian/terra_cotta_army/index, for the Museum of Qin Terra Cotta Warriors and Horses.

Those in the museum are only some of the 8000 originally buried in about 200 BC, before the tomb of Emperor Qinshihuang, to protect him after death.

His story is told at www.imperialtours.net/terracotta_warriors, "Sentinels of a Death-Defying Emperor."
Xi'an is a major city, and a cultural center. See www.romartraveler.com/RomarPages/XIAN.
