I've been to Xian to see the soldiers. Is that the terra cota you mean? I spent 2 days mezmerized. They have 3 barns built over the site and have disovered they have to take the barns down because they found more soldiers. I plan to go back in the future to see more.

We saw a small portion of the soldiers at the Worlds Fair in Canada in 86. There is a showing in a museum currently going on in Santa Ana CA.
