The terra-cotta warriors were built for the first emperor of China so that he would have an army even in the afterlife. Above is a replica head being made, and below are the actual warriors that have been unearthed in Xian, China.
This is a sight to see with one's own eyes. I always thought that the warriors were only a foot tall because I had only seen pictures, but seeing them myself was a shock. It's crazy to think that all of these men have different facial features, and these are only a small amount of a huge army that is still underground.
