Who discovered China's terracotta warriors in the 1970s?
Correct answer: A farmer digging a well in a drought
ATS
We met the farmer a few years ago. He was employed to sit and sign a book about the terracotta warriors at the site. Fascinating place, and they believe there's lots more to find.

I have photographs taken with him several years ago when he signed my book.

Kathy, Replicas, but very good ones. I also saw the exhibit at the Indianapolis Children's Museum.

ATS, We, too, felt privileged to meet this gentleman. The museum was fascinating. Such vast numbers were overwhelming, and only a small percentage were on view.

Love history, it can teach us so much. It teaches us what took place centuries ago and also teaches us not to repeat mistakes that were made. To bad the cancel culture wants to eliminate our history and pretend it didn’t happen.

I saw some @ the Asian Art Museum in SF. I could actually Feel the weight of history in the room. I found it both haunting and fascinating.

Goblin, there used to be a place in Orlando Florida called Splendid China. It had a replica of the cave & the warriors. It was a wonderful place to visit. Sadly the last time we were there it was gone

Player #33292972, I KNOW! Can’t we just learn everything we want to as “actual and truthful “ and make our own decisions?!

Player #33292972, You couldn't be more right about our history bring destroyed or replaced with lies. How sad to think that we have faught for will not be shared with future generations. Makes you wonder about what has been taught to us from even just 500 yrs ago, how much is real....

I can only guess but I bet the farmer gets paid little for signing books and I bet the government took over the whole area and make lots of money from the tourists.
