Terracotta Warriors

One of the sights that you can't really skip while travelling through China, the Terracotta Warriors are a collection of life-size clay soldiers that were stumbled upon in 1974. Their reason for being is that around 2000 thousand years ago Emperor Qin Shi Huang felt he needed a bit of extra protection in the afterlife. He must have been a very bad boy because there are thousands of soldiers on foot, on horses and with chariots. The best thing about them is that they're all unique with expressions of excitement, fear, boredom and even constipation.
