Experts think the Terracotta Army was meant to protect Emperor Qin Shi Huangdi in the afterlife and they also think there are still Terracotta Warriors left to be found.
As king, Qin Shi Huangdi spent 25 years battling and taking over warring states. Once he unified China, he declared himself the first emperor. His dynasty ended just four years after his death, but the landmass he ruled over remained unchanged for centuries.
Some archeologists think it took as many as 700,000 craftsmen and laborers to build the army through the years and production stopped when the emperor died in 210 B.C. They worked for nearly 40 years to build the army and experts suspect many of these laborers were enslaved people who were executed once their services were no longer needed.
There are many mysteries surrounding the clay army, and in the past few decades, new and non-invasive technologies have helped scientists understand how the clay army was formed.Researchers have used scraps found among the statues to determine the material used to build the army. In ascientists examined 12 fragments that came from warrior statues in pit 1, which is the largest of the three pits.
