Ten Terracotta Warriors in New York Automatic translate

A unique opportunity is to return while King Qin Shi Huangdi united China, becoming its first emperor, awaiting residents and visitors of New York. The king knew that his role in the historical process would not have been significant without his army, and therefore the Emperor built eight thousand terracotta warriors to protect himself after death.

Yesterday, a detachment of 10 soldiers representing the famous terracotta army, whose mission is to protect the first Emperor of China in the afterlife, landed in New York. “King Qin Shi Huangdi united China, becoming his first emperor, and he knew how important his powerful army played in this process, so he demanded to build eight thousand soldiers to protect him after his death,” said the curator of the exhibition “Terracotta Warriors Chen Shen, "opened at the Times Square Research Center.

Each of the 10 warriors is no less than 1.80 meters tall and weighs 270 kg. Also, about 200 objects, such as instruments, jewelry, musical instruments and figurines, were buried with the Emperor. Among them are things that have never been exhibited in the United States: the doors of the burial chamber of the Han Dynasty, “Lai Ding” (kitchen utensils) and “Yaa” made of bronze (a vessel for water or wine).

Eight thousand terracotta warriors, this is one of the most important archaeological finds of the twentieth century, it was made in 1974 in Shaanxi province in China, near the grave of Qin Shi Huangdi, the construction of which by the forces of 700 thousand people lasted 40 years, from the moment the future emperor turned 13. King Qin lived between 230 and 221 BC, and uniting six states, at the age of 39, became the head of a single Chinese empire.
