Terracotta Army is one of the most astounding discoveries ever. It consists of 7500 statues of natural size, representing the army of the Chinese emperor Qin Shi, who reigned in the third century B.C. There are no identical statues – all of them have different features of faces, as well as different body posture. The scientists claim that the emperor wanted to secure power for himself in the after-life and for that reason he ordered to dig in the army in the close vicinity of the sarcophagus.
