China's Terra Cotta Warriors Coming To U.S.

[Furtherman]

Last year I told you about the King Tut exhibition (http://www.ronfez.net/forums/showthread.php?t=55266&highlight=King+Tut). Did you go? It was awesome.

This year it is the Terra Cotta Warriors from China's first emperors tomb.

Soldiers. Charioteers. Archers. Musicians. Generals. Acrobats. Nearly 2,000 years ago, thousands of life-size clay figures were buried in massive underground pits to accompany China's first emperor, Qin Shihuangdi, into the afterlife. Their discovery outside the city of Xi'an in 1974 is one of the greatest archaeological finds of the 20th century.

Now, you can stand face-to-face with these terra cotta warriors. In November 2009, National Geographic Museum will host Terra Cotta Warriors: Guardians of China’s First Emperor, an exhibition featuring treasures from the tomb complex including 15 life-size figures, weapons, armor, coins, and more. Don't miss this chance to see the largest collection of significant artifacts from China ever to travel to the United States.

The nerdy art class kids?

I was thinking the same thing.

What that article didn't say was that each life-size figure has a different face from each other. Each one is unique.

[Aggie]

Would love to see these. Saw Tut in November. It's currently in Dallas. It was great!
