
The Terracotta
Warriors are the most
significant archaeology
find of the 20th century .
The Warriors were
made to fight for the
Emperor and keep him
safe at all times.

Because the Emperor was
getting old he knew he was
going to die , so he made the
Chinese people build statues of
the Warriors so they could die
with him . The soldiers would
have to sit down and a person
would craft their face out of
Terracotta . People would cook
the Terracotta in a wood fire.

The Terracotta Warrior and War
horses were built in their battle
formation because it shows the
tourists where they were made
to stand . Lots of Warriors would
be killed to keep their beloved
Emperor safe.

When people find the Emperors tomb they believe that it will
be full of his bedazzling jewels , the walls will be made out of
glamorous gold , the roof will be a bright aqua blue and it will
have a river of mercury flowing down the tunnel.

People are afraid of
finding the
Emperors tomb
because it will be
riddled with
dangerous booby
traps that the
Emperor has had put
in for when he dies .

In 1974 a farmer was digging holes in his paddocks when he found a
lovely piece of pottery and an arm of a Terracotta Warrior . A year later
an archaeology team came and dug up around 2000 Terracotta
Warriors and War Horses . They say there is still hundreds of
unimaginable things under ground .
