Qin Shihuangdi Funerary ComplexThe largest pit is now covered with a canopy and conveys something of the massive size of this undertaking.

Some six thousand terra-cotta figures have been uncovered and painstakingly pieced together in this pit alone.Tomb of Qin shi Huang Di, Xianyang, China/Bridgeman Images
