Terracotta Army Panorama

View On Black (Larger)

The Terracotta Army was buried with the Emperor of Qin (Qin Shi Huangdi) in 209-210 BC (his reign over Qin was from 247 BC to 221 BC and unified China from 221 BC to the end of his life in 210 BC). Their purpose was to help rule another empire with Shi Huangdi in the afterlife. Consequently, they are also sometimes referred to as "Qin's Armies". Some people think that the army was also built for protection.

I absolutely love this shot (and the amount of effort you obviously put into it), awesome!

I hope you don't mind that I've used it for illustrating this blogpost on the re-starting of excavations in the pits, of course, using the embed code supplied by Flickr, thus with proper attribution & linking back to your Flickr entry.

Again, wow! kick-ass image!
