What is the Terracotta army?

Question

What is the Terracotta army?

Answer 1

Life size clay warriors in the tomb of the first Chinese emperor.

Answer 2

I can't remember a ton about it, but it was the first chinese emperor, who believed that an army of clay soldiers would protect him in the after life, forced his people to build thousands of soldiers with armor and weapons, no two looking exactly alike. Wikipedia is a good website to find reliable sources from, but not always the best information directly.

Answer 3

There's a place in Katy,TX that has replicas of the Terracotta soldiers

Answer 4

Google is your friend.

The Terracotta Army is a huge army of clay soldiers horses and chariots that were found in 1974.  The best estimates are that there are over 8000 (yeah, that's EIGHT THOUSAND!!) figures.  All are different, and are believed to be modeled after different people and animals.

WAY cool, if you ask me!!

Answer 5

It is a replica army built to lifesize out of Terracotta clay.  It was buried in the tomb of one of China's greatest emperors (I forget which one).
