The #TerracottaArmy was found on #ThisDayInHistory in 1974 by local farmers. ~8000 life-size ceramic warriors filled pits around the tomb of #QinShiHuang, the first emperor of #China. Court figures have since been found in different pits but the tomb itself remains unexplored.
Two ancient war chariots and more than 20 pieces of weapons have been unearthed in a latest dig at China’s #TerracottaArmy site in Northwest China’s Shaanxi Province. #archaeology

A hand painted warrior up close. He is in a crouching position and has brightly colored clothing and red and black armor. He stands in front of a purple backdrop.
Throwback to March 2016 when I saw the Teracotta Warriors exhibition at The Field Museum with @thunderbird32.bsky.social. Pretty amazing to have the opportunity see so many examples of the statutes up close. #TerracottaArmy #Chicago
Blended in perfectly with the Terracotta Army today. No one noticed until I sneezed. 🤧🐾 Apparently, “stealth level: cat” is unbeatable.
