| Yeah, this is that now Billionaire, once poor farmer who found the first Terra Cotta warrior as he was digging a water well. He is now of course the most famous man in the city. I bought the book and got my picture taken with him all for just $200 yuan. It was sooo worth it. |

| First impression...WOW!! |
 |
| This is one of many sites that the archaeologist have uncovered close to several thousand of these warriors. They are said to have no two faces alike. This site is gigantic. There are parts where excavation is still being done. The best examples have been moved to the front where they can be viewed. |
 |
| Quite an amazing facility. This is only one of the sites of excavation. The others are being excavated and not open to the public. |
 |
| Yeah, that's me grinning as I had to pinch myself to realize that I am in Xi'an, China, at the site of the excavation of the Terra Cotta Warriors. It is not a dream, I'm really here! |
 |
| Unfortunately, there are sites that show that not all of the excavation is proving as successful as the first. There are still alot of excavation to be completed and as the later sites are not in as good a condition the Government has decided that some of the surrounding lands will not be disturbed until further progress has been made n the technology to locate, extract and preserve these ancient treasures. |
