* Pit #1 is the largest of the finds, first opened to the public on China's National Day, 1979.
* This is one of the most amazing archaeological sites I have seen, to me this was far more impressive than the Great Wall - but thats me.....
* The Terracotta Army was discovered in March 1974 by local farmers drilling a water well to the east of Mount Lishan, the man-made necropolis of the First Emperor of the Qin Dynasty.
* It is believed that the largest pit (#1), holding over 6,000 figures of infantrymen, chariots and horses, was representative of the First Emperor’s main army. This feature faces east and covers an area of 172,000 square feet.
