A partial replica of the Terracotta Army; its purpose
was to help rule another empire with Shi Huang Di in the afterlife, so it's also sometimes referred to as "Qin's Armies"
The Terracotta Army are the Terracotta Warriors and Horses of Qin Shi Huang, the First Emperor of China.
These figures dating from 210 BC were discovered in 1974 by several local farmers while digging a well near the Mausouleun of the First Qin Emperor.
The figures vary in height (183-195cm) according to thier role, the tallest being the Generals.
The figures include warriors, chariots, officials, acrobats, strongmen and musicians.
Current estimates are that in the three pits containing the Army there were over 8,000 soldiers, 130 chariots with 520 horses and 150 cavalry horses, the majority of wich are still buried in the pits.

Hey Robert,
Shouldn't have admitted it's a Disney world :)
The photo itself is however very nice with good contrast and saturation...
Thanks for sharing!
Bartosz
This is a very beautiful shot of a very nice historical monument. Very well captured.
Best wishes,
Achim
Hello Robert,
For a moment I thought you went to Xian..!
What is most mind provoking with the original is the fact that someone actually got the idea and carried out such an enormous task... But then that seems to be a tradition in China, re also the Great Wall!
One plus with the Disney version - it is easier to photograph...
Greetings,
Pablo -
Hi Robert. When I saw this, I was thinking that this shot was registered in China. The replica looks like the real things I have seen here in TE. Very sharp image and well done. Regards. Jusni
