Terracotta Warriors, Xian

Over 2000 years old and only discovered in 1974 - the 8th wonder of the world

The well the farmer was digging when he started to unearth archaeological treasure

Life-like features all orginally coloured

Only 1000 of the 8000 warriors unearthed so far. Sagging roof between the beams crushing the buried warriors below

An assembled assembly

Chariot drivers behind horses' rumps

Illustration of the sagging roff that's destroying the treasure
