“This photo shows a partial view of the Terracotta Army in China. Quote: “Why It’s Amazing? Part of the world’s largest ancient imperial tomb complex —part of a mostly unexcavated necropolis 6 km (4 mi) square!. One of the top archaeological finds of the 20th century. 2,200 years old! — It dates back to the uniting of China under one emperor, who’s buried there.. The largest find of its kind (about 1,800 different life-size statues have been uncovered). Incredible detail: 175–190 cm (5’9–6’3) tall, every one different in gestures and facial expressions, some even with color showing. All have single-edge eyelids! Legend says the First Emperor had single-edge eyelids, so all his Terracotta Army were made with them. —Named: September 1978 “The Eighth Wonder of the World”. by French President Jacques Chirac. Quote: “There were Seven Wonders in the world, and the discovery of the Terracotta Army, we may say, is the eighth miracle of the world. No one who has not seen the pyramids can claim to have visited Egypt, and now I’d say that no one who has not seen these terracotta figures can claim to have visited China. Unquote.
