No, these terracotta warriors are models of the emperor's elite troop so they are all male, no "mulan" among them.
Because there were thousands of those warriors made vividly, still standing and preserved well for over 2000 years! And because they were found with many bronze weapons, chariots and other valuable stuff which are buried under the ground.
So that they could not be stolen and sold.
around 300 because there were so many terracotta warriors to uncover but eventually they only found about 700
well they were found in 1974 by 7 farmers digging a well in china. the emperor made the soldiers in about 220 bc so like 2030 years. :)
not that people know of, as women were not allowed to fight, so it was really unfair
All the special items didn't satisfy Qin, so he built a big terracotta army that protected his tomb for eternity, like his flesh-and-blood troops that defended him for his lifetime.
The capital of Qin dynasty was Xianyang (咸阳) and the tomb of Shi Huangdi guarded by Terracotta Warriors (兵马俑) was built there. At that time, Beijing's location was called Ji (蓟), one of Qin's county governments. Nowadays, the ruin of ancient Xianyang is located in the southwest of today's Xi'an(西安). So we usually relate Xi'an and Terracotta Warriors together.
because the army is so great no one would want to miss it and its Emperor Qin the dynasty emperor
its safe and its well preserved The organisms were buried quickly.
Because the mummification process makes them well-preserved.
