The tomb of Emperor Qin, positioned on a mound near the ancient city of Xian in north-west China, had long been known about. But when farmers accidentally dug up the head of a warrior while building a well some 2km (1.2 miles) from the tomb site, they had stumbled on something that literally changed the view of history. More than 7,000 life-size warriors, built out of terracotta and originally brightly painted, had been buried in battle formation in three pits along with their horses, wooden chariots and weapons. Archaeologists believe they are the result of one of the earliest examples of mass production, with teams of labourers working on the separate parts of each warrior. In the last decade, finds in other parts of the tomb complex have since revealed that the First Emperor not only sought military protection in his afterlife - he wanted to recreate his entire realm." runat="server" />
