25. The Terracotta Army of China
The Terracotta soldiers protect and accompany China’s first Emperor Qin Shi Huang in the afterlife. There are thousands of horses, soldiers, and chariots that are a part of the emperor’s tomb. All of them are life-size and were made by a large number of artists, and about 800 soldiers are buried at the grave.
No one knew about the Terracotta Army until 1974 when people working in a neighboring field stumbled upon the site. Because of the high craftsmanship and consideration that it took several decades for people to complete, it is highly regarded as the eighth wonder of the world.
