I received a private tour of one of the greatest archeological finds in world history. In 1974, farmers were searching for water in Xi'an, China when they found clay fragments and ancient weapons. Extensive digging by the Chinese government revealed the fragments of 8,000 clay figures built over 2,000 years ago. They were a terra-cotta army that was built to protect the first Chinese emperor in the afterlife. Each warrior, which stands 6 feet tall and weighs 600 pounds, had to be restored and reconstructed individually, which could take several months. No two faces are alike.
