00:02 - Since the surprise discovery of the warriors 50 years ago,
00:09 archeologists have unearthed countless discoveries.
00:12 (speaking in foreign language)
00:16 - The first emperor, Qin of China, built the Great Wall
00:26 and the most spectacular tomb
00:29 the world has ever seen.
00:30 - Looking face to face at the 8,000 warriors,
00:34 it is astonishing to think that this is all built
00:36 for one man.
00:38 - It's a very, very powerful graphic representation
00:41 of that feat he had achieved.
00:44 - But after the emperor of Qin's death,
00:47 the Qin dynasty would collapse
00:49 and the site of his epic tomb disappeared from history.
00:54 - So what happened?
00:58 - When we excavated, all these territories
01:01 were broken into pieces.
01:03 We already found thousands of targeted warriors,

01:10 to excavate a real Qin warrior.

01:14 in the context of world history, of global history.

01:24 that this is not just legend, but fact.
01:27 - So who could be buried there and why?
