Emperor's Ghost Army

The story of the terra-cotta army found in the mausoleum of the first emperor of China, Qin Shi Huang, including how and why the clay warriors were made. Also: the technology behind the statues' still-lethal crossbows, spears, and swords.

Tell me about your tour. What company did you use? Always looking for my next destination.

Saw these on an exhibit in ATL years ago. Really incredible.

We did a Viking cruise-tour, 8 days on the Yangzte River and then two weeks on land. We also did a three day add on in Hong Kong.

It was my first ever cruise and guided tour. I've traveled a lot, but on my own. I have nothing but good things to say about Viking, contact me off line to chat more.
