🏺 THE TERRACOTTA ARMY UNCOVERED
March 29, 1974 — In rural Xi'an, China, farmers digging a water well break through into an underground chamber, revealing one of the greatest archaeological discoveries of the 20th century. Thousands of life-sized terracotta warriors, each with unique facial features, had been buried for over 2,200 years to protect Emperor Qin Shi Huang in the afterlife. This accidental discovery would uncover an entire ancient army frozen in time.
