Our next destination in China was Xian, home of the Terracotta
Warriors. The Terracotta Warriors were
built a long, long time ago, when the Emperor wanted protection in the after
life, so he had a large group build him the warriors. They buried the warriors
with his tomb. Later, some ambushers came and destroyed some of the Terracotta
warriors. Many years later a farmer discovered a warrior while digging a well. Now
he just hangs out at the museum and gives autographs. There are people at the
museum that are archeologists, their job is to put the warriors that were
broken back together, piece by piece. I would kill myself if I got that job.
Over all the Terracotta Warriors are pretty cool. My favorite warrior was, the
officer, he may be no general but he’s tough. So I bought a mini him.

Thanks for the history lesson and the good laugh funny guy.
