Terracotta warriors
November 27, 2019 in China ⋅ ☁️ 6 °CMorning activities today.
Morning activities today.
After being inside the excavation site for so long, the sunshine outside was nearly blinding! It’s amazing how our bodies adapt to our surroundings so quickly!
Believe it or not, this is an actual mailbox! I’ve never seen such a cute and colorful mailbox before and I really like this one. I didn’t even notice it at first. This is one of Kathy’s shots.
Here’s another look at the horse mailbox. I had thought that this set up as one of the Chinese New Year animals but 2018 is the year of the dog, not the horse. At least it’s a lucky red color!
There’s another museum here that we’re about to go into. We’ve already seen so much here that I’m not sure what else this museum can show us. I’m ready for a look though!
I wish that I was able to read Chinese. I’d really like to know what these signs say. They look very decorative and artistic but I’m sure that they are trying to give me a lot of information also.
The whole excavation site is covered by what looks like an aircraft hanger. It makes sense to keep this site covered up. This way, the figures are protected from the weather, sunlight and humidity.
I’ve never been to an active archeological excavation site before and, I must admit, it’s very exciting. It makes me feel like I’m participating in an important part of history.
Heute morgen ging es mit dem Flieger nach Xi' an. Dort besichtigten wir die berühmte Terracotta Armee. Wie ihr seht, waren wir mitten drin statt nur dabei.
Da togliere il fiato
