Eight thousand soldiers frozen underground

Only forty years ago, this great secret was still hiding from the world. A group of Chinese farmers digging a well in 1974 were about to make one of the biggest discoveries of modern archaeology, that would stun the world.
They hit something. At first they thought it was an old temple. Then they discovered it was a life-sized clay soldier, poised ready for battle, a messenger from the ancients… but that was just the beginning. When archaeologists arrived at the site to investigate, they uncovered an entire army of soldiers buried there. What was the purpose of this vast replica army, and what sort of person could be behind its creation?
To answer this, we need to go on a journey back to the Qin Dynasty (221-207 BC) to get to know the man who unified China. He was none other than the fascinating Qin Shi Huangdi – the First Emperor of China …<br>

He was terrifying as well and he certainly knew what he wanted. Not only did he establish the Chinese Empire and create the Terracotta Army, but he was also behind the construction of another world wonder: the Great Wall of China, about which there is a separate MEP Project.
