Some friends and I had a chance to visit the traveling exhibit of China’s amazing Terra Cotta Warriors. It was fascinating.
Excavations have been ongoing for 40 years, and there are many decades of work still ahead. Several relatively small pits have been opened on a site that measures 22 square miles. It will be fascinating to see what more time reveals.
