China’s Terracotta Army in Toronto

The Warrior Emperor and China’s Terracotta Army is coming to Toronto. The Royal Ontario Museum will be putting them on display on June 26. 

The good news is unlike G20, they will not need a security zone for these famous figures. We think the army will be a true attraction to tourists and local residents of Toronto.

The army was build by the China’s First Emporer, Quin Shihuangdi, in 246 BC to protect him in his after life. The emporer had over 700,000 workers building this army. The life-size terracotta army of warriors and their horses was first discovered in 1974 by farmers digging a well in Shaanxi province.

It makes us wonder how come we haven’t discovered anything with all this constructions on 401 !
