[Moo] Fw: CHINA's TERRA COTTA WARRIORS in DC'S NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC MUSEUM

[Marc Lauterbach]

I had the good fortune to visit the dig site when I was in China several
years ago, and while I have not been to this exhibition, it's very much
worth seeing, especially for those interested in far eastern impressions
(especially since Chinese clothing did not really change much between the
2nd century BC and the early part of our period in the early 7th century).
Especially incredible considering the fact that they've only uncovered
something like 200-300 soldiers, and they expect several tens of thousands
are still buried!
