imagine the skill of all of those people working towards the same goal. Next, all of these statutes had one purpose, and that was to protect their emperor in the afterlife. It is just amazing that people during that time had that much respect and loyalty to the same person is all but unheard of today. Lastly, out of all of the statutes, none of them are exactly alike. One of them may be tall and have a narrow straight face, and the other may have been shorter with a long nose and a short mouth. It is like they took a picture and sculpted it.  

used in their military, so they seem to be guarding something. "We find the underground pits are an imitation of the real organization in the Qin dynasty," said the Museum Director of the Terracotta Army (Lubow). Some to believe they are defending the emperors tomb. He strived to find immortality, but never could find it so he lives on forever through these statues. People know where the tomb is because it was described that it contained lots of mercury. Geologists have found an area that is very concentrated with mercury, but people choose to not excavate the tomb because they want to honor their emperor and founder. "People thought when the emperor died, he took just a lot of pottery army soldiers with

   Human Environment Interaction:  

There are many other attractions other than the Terracotta Warriors. Some of these include the Bell Tower, the Famen Temple, climbing the Cuihua Mountain, or the Huaqing Hot Spring, and even the Shaanxi History Museum 

         Bell Tower, Beijing 

Movement:      If you want to go to Xi’an and see many of their attractions, you want to take a flight to the Xi’an International Airport. Once you get to the airport you find many ways to get around to sidewalks to buses, and even taxi’s.

    History: During the 200s B.C.E, there was conflict 

between the different clans that made up 

China. One of the clan leaders, named Qin 

Shihuangdi, conquered each clan one by one,

to slowly make China united for the first time. 

During his rule, he made a standard currency,

weights and measurements. The emperors 

name was Shihuangdi. He was always 

searching for the key for immortality. He 

believed it would be a potion (drink). It was 

even said that they visited mystical islands to 

the east. I believe that would be Hawaii, or 

America itself. Since he failed in finding the 

potion, he wanted to make a magnificent tomb

for himself and his entire guard and city to 

guard him there forever. So that is what we 

know as the Terracotta Army. His tomb 

guardian, so he may rest in peace in the 

‘afterlife.’

 The new Lebron 11s color style is called the “Terracotta Warrior.” They said what inspired them was the Terracotta Army because they were the Ancient Chinese warriors and it would be hard to take them into to battle or in this case, basketball. “Inspired by the ancient terracotta warrior figures of China.”
