What a sight that must have been when they were new. Can you imagine the final inspection tour by the emperour. Someday I will get there. Someday, maybe if I quit collecting toy soldiers, sold every one I have and then maybe.... nah, I'll wait. Toys first, trips second. Ya, That's the ticket. Toys first, trips second.

Thank you for posting those great pictures. If you have more, please post them too.

That is one of the most fascinating finds. A bit excessive but, man, what a record and snapshot of a spectacular culture.

Timeless monument to military power and in the ultimate scale 1:1. It is just amazing something like this was found relatively intact.

Were there weapons in the soldiers hands originally ? I also thought I read something about them being painted also, but I am not sure.

Thanks for the pictures !
