The Terracotta Army is a collection of terracotta statues of the armies of Qin Shi Huang, the first Emperor of China. The army was created during 3rd century BC to be buried with the emperor in order to protect him and give him people to rule over. Every sculpture in the army has its own unique facial features. The total number of statues is still a mystery, but should be around 8,000 soldiers, 130 chariots with 520 horses and 150 cavalry horses plus other terracotta non-military figures like state officials, acrobats, strongmen and musicians. The Terracotta Army is protected by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site.
