Undoubtedly, there are still thousands of statues to be found at this archaeological site, which was only discovered in 1974. The tomb of Qin Shi Huang (died in 210 BC), the first unifier in Chinese history, is surrounded by the famous Terracotta Army at the center of a complex designed to reflect the urban planning of the capital city of Xi'an. The statuettes are all different; with horses, chariots and weapons, they are masterpieces of realism and of great historical significance.
