TerraCotta Soldiers and horses are one of the greatest archaeological discoveries of the 20th century. Work is still underway in this underground grave, 15 kilometers east of the tomb of Chinese emperor Qin Shi Huang. Qin Shi Huang, a 13-year-old emperor, built this monument in 11 years. In 1974, a group of villagers found the stones they found on land to open a well, immediately taking the attention of archaeologists. Terracotta soldiers and horses, which are real sizes, are listed in battle format. The most interesting part of the work is that all of these soldiers are different. As a museum, the monumental tomb that is opened to the public is 16,300 square meters in size.
