Discovered in 1974 by local farmers digging a well, the Terracotta Warriors Museum is probably the most famous and spectacular site in Xi'an. Built about 2,200 years ago by the first emperor in Chinese history, QinShihuang, so he would have company in the afterlife (!), there are over 7,000 soldiers, archers and horses in three different "pits." The guy must have been crazy but the site is incredible!

The guy was probably crazy with fear about dying! It's a reminder to me of what an incredible gift it is to know the peace of Christ and to actually be able to look forward to one day "crossing over."
