So the story goes, in 1974 farmers digging a well (I believe) unearthed on of these soldiers. Historians had no clue what is was, but they started digging and have now found 4000 pieces. A whole army! They were never recorded in history, so one can only guess why they were made. But it is assumed they were made to protect the emperor after he died (I guess he was a bit of a jerk). The army is made out of clay and each one is different. It is thought that they were modeled after the real army at the time!
We had to wait a while to get in. Come to find out it was because the President of Turkey was there! He never waits for me.....
