1974年3月29日，著名的 Terracotta Army 在 China Xi’an 附近被發現。

這項發現源於當地農民打井時的意外發現。當他們挖掘土地時，挖出了真人大小的陶俑碎片，之後考古學家確認這是龐大地下軍隊的一部分。

考古發掘顯示，遺址內有數千個陶製士兵、戰馬和戰車，這些兵馬俑是為守護 Qin Shi Huang 的陵墓而建。秦始皇於公元前221年統一中國。

每一個兵馬俑的面貌和裝備都不相同，展現了秦朝工藝的高度水準。

如今，兵馬俑被視為20世紀最重要的考古發現之一，並被列入 UNESCO 世界文化遺產。

On March 29, 1974, the Terracotta Army was discovered near Xi’an, in China.

The discovery was made accidentally by local farmers digging a well. As they dug into the ground, they uncovered fragments of life-sized clay figures, which later turned out to be part of a massive underground army.

Archaeologists soon revealed that the site contained thousands of terracotta soldiers, horses, and chariots built to guard the tomb of Qin Shi Huang, the first emperor who unified China in 221 BCE.

Each warrior statue has unique facial features and detailed armor, demonstrating the remarkable craftsmanship of the Qin dynasty.

Today, the Terracotta Army is considered one of the most important archaeological discoveries of the 20th century and is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
