The Excavation Results
This led to a massive operation. Hundreds of workers were sent to the area so that they could unearth the army of terracotta soldiers. After working on the soil, they found the terracotta men down there. For the first time in hundreds of years, these statues could be freed from the dirt at long last.
Not Just Soldiers
Mind you, the statues were not limited to soldiers. In fact, there were non-human figurines too. Among others, the experts found hundreds of terracotta animals in there as well. For one, they found birds and horses in the ground. There were over 500 working horses that pulled nearly 150 full-size chariots.
