The First Emperor: China's Terracotta Army

Last Sunday was our 34th wedding anniversary. While we were looking for something interesting to do on our anniversary, I found out that The First Emperor exhibit was at the High Museum in Atlanta and we decided that would be an interesting thing to see. And it was very interesting. These terracotta soldiers are 2200 years old. They were discovered in 1974 Xian, China and they have been working to uncover them ever since. They estimate that there are about 8000 of them, but only about 1000 have been uncovered so far. If anyone is looking for something interesting to do, I would highly recommend this exhibit. It is at the high Museum until April 19, 2009.
  This is where the terracotta army was found in China.....
