Lintong County, People’s Republic of China, March 1974
Three farmers are digging a well when suddenly their shovels hit something hard. It is a clay head of a mad who stares back at them, open-eyed and amazingly real looking. The farmers have never seen anything like it; neither have the archeologists who arrive and being to uncover more and more pottery men–first dozens, then hundres and eventually thousands Buried for more than 2,200 years, they are soldiers, life-size as well as life-like, and they stand at attention as if waiting for the command to charge into battle. The only thing missing is their weapons, and soon those are found too–thousands of real bronze swords, daggers, and arrowheads still so sharp they can split a hair.
