Terracotta Army in Xi'an, China




As told by our tour guide: The tomb was discovered by farmers who were trying to dig a well to water their trees. They found a head. Being superstitious, they reburied it and agreed not to tell anyone. A few of them did end up telling some officials, and when they dug it up again, they found this historical treasure trove.
