THE ULTIMATE ADVENTURE: SEARCHING FOR TERRACOTTA ARMY IN XI'AN - PART 2

CONTINUATION OF PART ONE

 

   4TH SEPTEMBER 2026   ~ After the challenging ordeal to get into the Terracotta Army complex, we finally made ourselves into the first building.

Terracotta is actually a clay-based brownish-orange ceramic material that hardens when fired. [SOURCE: AI Overview]. In other words, it is similar to the ceramic flower pots that you have outside and around the house.

However, the Terracotta Army statues in Xi'an were constructed in 246-206 BC. How long had these Army lasted, you do the Maths.
