third century BC to guard the tomb of the Chinese Emperor Qinshihuang!Each
statue has a different face,leading researchers to believe that each one is a
copy of a real soldier.The statues fill only one part of the emperor's huge tomb.
which still has not been completely unearthed.More than 700,000 people
worked for nearly 40 years to build this tomb.However,no one in modem times

discovered the tomb while they were digging a well!
