The sprawling terracotta army of Qin Shi Huang, first emperor of China. Dating back to the third century BC, these 8,000 warriors were not discovered until 1974 by a local farmer digging a well. This farmer is still alive and well — I interviewed him yesterday, with the help of a friend to translate. #china
