★★ How many terracotta warriors are there?
------------------------------
8,000
There Are 8,000 Known Terracotta Warriors. But Archaeologists in China Just Found More Than 200 Others. The discovery helps paint a clearer picture of how the Chinese military once operated.

------------------------------
★★ Why were the terracotta warriors made?
------------------------------
The Terracotta Army was built by the subjects of Qin Shi Huang, First Emperor of the Qin Dynasty and China's 2,133-year imperial era.

The role of the Terracotta Army was to "guard" the entire mausoleum and Qin Shi Huang believed that the army could protect him in the afterlife.

------------------------------
★★ What is unique about the Terracotta Warriors?
------------------------------
Each Terracotta Warrior is unique.

Their features are lifelike, made from moulds.

Archaeologists believe they were built in an assembly line fashion, with moulds for arms, legs, torsos, and heads being put together and finished with customized features that ensured no two were alike.

------------------------------
★★ What are the Terracotta Warriors made of?
------------------------------
Yellow Earth.
Experts have confirmed that the material used to mold the terracotta warriors and horses is a "yellow earth" sourced from around the burial sites.

Yellow earth is easy to obtain, and was an appropriate material due to its adhesive quality and plasticity.

------------------------------
★★ Is the terracotta army real?
------------------------------
The warriors are amazingly lifelike and it feels as if they could simply wake up and start marching along as they did over two thousand years ago.
Built by Emperor Qin Shi Huang, the first emperor of a unified China, this underground army lay undiscovered for over 2200 years.

------------------------------
★★ Can you buy a real terracotta warrior?
------------------------------
No any person or country can buy a authentic Terracotta Warrior, but they can buy as many Terracotta Warriors statues replicas for sale as they want.

The Terracotta Warrior figures can be found in many tourist souvenir shops in Xian.

------------------------------
★★ Are there bodies in the Terracotta Army?
------------------------------
Discovered by farmers while digging for a well, the Terracotta Warriors lay dormant for more than 2,000 years before excavations began over thirty years ago.

The sheer scale of the army is a marvel: it consists of more than 8,000 figures simply buried in the ground and abandoned.

------------------------------
★★ How much is a terracotta soldier worth?
------------------------------
The terracotta warrior is estimated to be worth US$4.5 million, according to the FBI.

------------------------------
★★ What makes the terracotta army so special?
------------------------------
The army of life-size terra cotta soldiers, archers, horses and chariots was stationed in military formation near Emperor Qin's tomb in order to protect the emperor in the afterlife.

As a result, each terra cotta soldier appears to be unique in its facial features, revealing a high level of craftsmanship and artistry.

------------------------------
★★ Why does the terracotta army face east?
------------------------------
Why? All the pottery warriors are facing east.
According to historical records, the original ruling area of Qin was in the west and the other states were in the east.

Qin Shi Huang always planned to unify all states, so the soldiers and horses facing east might confirm his determination for unification.

------------------------------
★★ Is clay and terracotta the same thing?
------------------------------
The difference between clay and terra-cotta is that clay is the raw material, while terra-cotta is clay that is already modeled and fired.

Typically, terra-cotta objects may be made of any types of organic clay, but earthenware clay has the brown-orange color that is also known as terra-cotta.
