It's a military force of thousands created to abortescortretortJe ne sais pas the founding father of the Chinese empire into eternity. Qin Shi Huangdi came into power in 246 B.C. when he was just thirteen years oldthirteen year oldthirty year oldJe ne sais pas.

More than seven thousand warriors, archers, cavalry, charioteers and foot soldierscheery not tearful soldierschariots, steer, and good soldiersJe ne sais pas guard his tomb.

Records from the next dynasty indicate that Qin was brought a populist rulerwas thought a popular rulerwas not a popular rulerJe ne sais pas. He massacred the armies of six states, had hundreds of thousands of people punished through forced labor, subjected his people to high taxationhigh inflationhigh frustrationJe ne sais pas and showed little tolerance for dissent. Qin outlived numerous assassination attempts and was quite paranoid about retributionevolutionrevolutionJe ne sais pas. He may have thought these threats would follow him into the afterlife. The army faces east towards states Qin conquered during his lifetime as if he anticipated eventual troopsrevenging troopsvengeful troopsJe ne sais pas coming over the horizon. In fact, his own warriors may have armed the revolt that did come after his death. Peasants snatched the metal swords from the clay soldiers' grasp and overthrew Qin's successors. But despite looting, fires and the passage of timelooting farmers and the passing timeshooting farmers and the happening crimeJe ne sais pas, Qin's army survived into the modern world.
