Terracotta Warriors Pit One

 

 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terracotta_army

This is basically what I saw as I walked into the building, minus the 20 tourists infont of me standing at the rail, where this was taken. It is just such an amazing sight, I don't think you can capture it in the same way.

The figures include warriors, chariots, horses, officials, acrobats, strongmen, and musicians. Current estimates are that in the three pits containing the Terracotta Army there were over 8,000 soldiers, 130 chariots with 520 horses and 150 cavalry horses, the majority of which are still buried in the pits
