Xi'an is one of the most amazing places I've been to in China. Here is a photo I took of the Terracotta Warriors.
I've never been to China but I've seen pictures of the Teracotta Warriors.
I've always wondered-- what was the purpose of making them?
It was the Emperor's army to protect him in his afterlife. The ancient Egytians also had people and gold objects buried with them for their afterlife.
I remember reading about that re: the ancient Egyptians.
Some of it was also pretty elaborate!
Many cultures used to believe in reincarnation.
I think certain peoples still do-- they certainly do in India.
At my age I'd like to think it was true.
I'm not 100% sure-- but more and more I'm tending to believe its true (reincarnation is real).
If reincarnation is real, I feel I have already lived several lifetimes. I hope this is my last turn of the wheel, and Nirvana is my next destination.
Nice to see you again, mocowgirl. It's been a long time.
Thank you.
Nice to interact with you again.
Nice article. I love seeing the world from the comfort of my home. LOL!

You took better photos of the warriors than I did. We never got to post our photo collaboration on Xi'an.
I guess that's what this is.
Actually, I'm surprised the article didn't mention the Bell Tower and the Drum Tower. Here's Buzz beating the drum.

Very, VERY cool city.
Xi'an is where the original "Silk Road" ended.
Xi'an was originally known as Chang'an. It is one of the oldest cities in China.
