The World Ancient Treasures (NAPSA)—Americans now have a chance to see an army from before the birth of Christ. According to researchers, the Terracotta Army of Emperor Qin Shi Huang is more than 3,000 years old. The 8,099 figures were discovered on a farm in China’s Xi’an Shaanxi province three decades ago. Thousands of clay soldiers protect the tomb of China’s first emperor. The excavations are still ongoing, with the Chinese government building several enormous museums on-site to house the incredible riches. Only a small numberof people per day are allowed to see these treasures—notonly the soldiers, but hundreds of Terracotta Horses, infantrymen in tunics, armored soldiers, archers in bronze chariots, messengers, cav- alrymen and scouts. Some VIP tour-goers are also allowed to handle many of the priceless artifacts. Imagine holding a 24-carat gold stamped and molded horse’s hoof from Emperor Qin’s cavalry in your hand.
