lines of warriors

The famous terracotta army in line after line after line. — Terracotta warriors in Xi’an, China

I went here with my dad in 2014. It is truly amazing to see the magnitude of just one area. This is a wonder of the world, although I thought it a bit morbid to put so much effort into a mortuary situation.

One of the most impressive things I ever seen. Are they still unearthing them–I saw them in 1998. That is such a delicate work–they told us they used small brushes so as not to damage them. Patience required!

I’m guessing you saw or heard nothing of the real story about China’s founding while in Xi’an ….. am I right?.

  It’s been several years since I was in Xi’an. Our guide talked to us about how Xi’an was the capital for a long while. I am not a history buff and don’t actually recall most of what she said…I have to take notes to remember things like that and I was busy taking pictures. China wasn’t mostly one thing for most of its history and a lot of what one hears is almost more like saga than history.
