The Amazing Terracotta Army

The Terracotta army which was made in the Qin dynasty and is an army of clay warriors.  The Terracotta Army was made from unbaked clay.  The word terracotta literally means unbaked clay.  They were also covered in beautiful paint that falls off right when they come out from the ground.  So now it is highly illegal to dig them out of the ground until  better technology is found.  The Terracotta Army was supposedly built to lead Emperor Qin Shi Huang into the afterlife.  They were also built to protect him in the afterlife.  Also each one of them have a different face, expression, and hairstyle to represent that each one of them is a different person.  This picture is of pit number one of the Terracotta Army.  There are three pits. Pit one is the biggest.  Pit two is the middle one.  Pit three is the smallest.  Archaeologists found bronze weapons including spears and swords.  They also found other weapons including bows and crossbows.  The Terracotta Army is sometimes called the eighth wonder of the world.
