Xian is one of the six ancient capital sites in China. In fact, it served as the capital city for a number of dynasties including the Zhou, the Qin, Sui, and Tang for a total of 1,100 years. Except for its rich history, Xian would not be noticeably different from any other large city in China. That all changed in the spring of 1974 when peasant workers first located evidence of a stunning archeological find that had remained undiscovered for 2,200 years. There semiburied in the reddish soil of China's Yellow River valley were hundreds of battered but beautiful terra-cotta statues of armed warriors, servants, and horses pulling manned war chariots - the retinue of unified China's first emperor, Qin Shi Huang Ti.
