This is a photo taken in 1974 when the first extensive collection of Terracotta warriors was first discovered in Xi'an, China.

What is remarkable about the photo is that it reveals the original bright colors that were painted onto these life-size clay warriors more than 2,000 years ago by skilled artisans. Unfortunately, when they were exposed to air and sunlight during the excavation, the colors began to curl up almost immediately and disappeared within minutes.

These Terracotta warriors were put in place to guard the tomb of the first emperor of unified China. To this day, the tomb has yet to be opened. According to ancient historians, the tomb contains an entire kingdom and palace in which the ceilings are decorated with pearls to mimic the night sky. The tomb is also said to contain extremely rare artifacts and has been rigged with crossbows to shoot anyone trying to break in. In order to retain its location a secret, the workers were entombed with the emperor.

The Han dynasty historian, Sima Qian, also mentioned that inside the tomb, "mercury was used to fashion the hundred rivers, the Yellow river and the Yangtze river, and the seas in such a way that they flowed." Modern tests have indicated extremely high levels of mercury in the surrounding soil.

Interestingly enough, when I looked up how the emperor had died, it was reportedly due to ingesting mercury pills, which at the time was believed to be an elixir of immortality.
