The Terracotta Army of the First Emperor of China (Genius of China Close-up Guides)
William Lindesay
In 1974, near Xi'an in central China, villagers chanced upon what has become one of the world's most astonishing archaeological finds--an 8,000-man army in battle-ready formation, each warrior a life-size figure in pottery made over 2,200 years ago.
The incredible army comes to life in photographs, diagrams and lucid text. Who commissioned this massive military tableau? What was its purpose? How many people worked on it and for how long? The answers are all here in this book?the amazing story behind one of the Wonders of the World. Full-color photographs and illustrations throughout
