Terracotta Army Replica at Epcot

Terracotta Army Replica at Epcot

I am in Orlando for a Health Care Marketing Conference. I arrived a day before the conference and had some time to visit Disney Epcot. As part of the China exhibit, they had a replica of the Terracotta Army, also known as Terracotta Warriors and Horses of Qin Shi Huang the First Emperor of China.

The figures were discovered in 1974 and the current estimate of the total number of statues is around 8,000.

It is believed that the Emporer had the army of statues built to protect him in his final resting place.
