The Terracotta Warriors were found in 1974 but some local farmers in the Shaanxi province. They date all the way back to 210BCE. The figures vary in their size depending on their roles. The tallest however are the generals. Other figures include warriors, chariots, horses, officials, acrobats, strongmen, and musicians. There are three pits that hold all of the terracotta figures. The pit contains over 8,000 soldiers, 130 chariots, 520 horses, and 150 calvary horses. Most of which are still buried within the pits.
