Detecting a concussion about the terracotta army in the tomb of Qin Shi Huang

Chinese archaeologists found 220 more terracotta warriors during the excavation of the tomb of the first Emperor of the Qin Dynasty.

The tomb has been excavated and researched since 2009, on an area of ​​about 500,000 square meters. Archaeologists have found a range of artifacts made of pottery, copper, jade, small amounts of gold, silver, and iron and the above terracotta warriors.

A new terracotta warrior was found in the tomb of Qin Shi Huang.

Most of the artifacts are in good condition, including military tripods, crossbows, gold swords and daily items such as spoons, plates, wine barrels and teapots. The researchers also discovered a gold camel, believed to be the earliest camel-shaped artifact in Chinese history.

Further research on these artifacts could provide important information about trade between China and Western countries before the time of the Silk Road.

As mentioned, besides 220 ceramic statues, archaeologists have discovered 12 more ceramic horses, as well as a large number of weapons and architectural monuments belonging to military officers seen before in the tomb of Qin Shihuang.

These findings may force us to rethink our previous understanding of how the military was organized in the Qin Dynasty.
