The Terracotta Army or Terra cotta Warriors and Horses is a collection of 8,099 life size terra cotta figures of warriors and horses located near the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor . The figures were discovered in 1974 near Xi'an, Shaanxi province.

Construction of this mausoleum began in 246 BC and is believed to have taken 700,000 workers and craftsmen 38 years to complete. Qin Shi Huang was interred inside the tomb complex upon his death in 210 BC.
