Terracotta Warriors - Barcelona, Spain
14 May 2004, Noja, Spain --- 2000 years old figures of the Army Terracota Warriors are displayed in Barcelona, Spain. The Army of Terracotta Warriors buried near the tomb of Qin Shi Huang, China's 1st emperor. Archeologists believe that the thousands of different life sized soldiers and horses were buried with the Emperor to protect and help him continue his reign in the afterlife. After more than two millennia underground, the warriors were discovered by peasants drilling a well in 1974. They are considered one of the most important archeological finds of the 20th century.
