The terracotta worriors site was miraculous archeological discovery in 1974, peasants digging a well about 1500 meters east of the tomb uncovered an underground vault of earth and timber and subsequent excavation revealed thousands of terracotta figures, life-size warriors and their horses all in battle formation - a whole army which would follow its emperor into immortality!

∙ 12y agoIt shows that in ancient China there was a strong belief system. One of the common ones was that you needed to be protected through the journey into the afterlife. Emperor Shi Huangdi of the Qin dynasty had over 8,000 terracotta soldiers made to be buried in his tomb so that he'd be protected in the afterlife.

Certain objects or consuming certain things was a belief that convinced some ancient Chinese people that they'd be given immortality.
