The picture shows pit one at the Terracotta Warriors Museum. I found the warriors to be one of the most interesting things we saw. The long history and intensive process to save them makes them that much more amazing in person. I also learned while we were at the museum that not all of the warriors have been uncovered yet because they do not yet have the technology to properly preserve them. When the warriors were initially buried they were full of color, when they make contact with the air this color is lost almost immediately. Its little facts like this that made the terracotta warriors so interesting to me. We also learned that a little ways away is where the emperor is buried. We also learned that his body hasn’t yet been uncovered because it is surrounded by traps to protect him in the afterlife.
