The Eighth Wonder of the World

TCWARRIORINMUSEUM.JPG (16161 bytes)

An absolutely incredible sight.  Shhhhhh!  If you close your eyes and listen, you can hear the soldiers breathing, the horses snorting and pawing the ground with their hooves, the generals barking out orders and the wind blowing through the valley.  So lifelike, they appear to be flesh and bone under a thin veneer of potters clay.

(None of the images of warriors or horses that follow are of the actual formation due to a prohibition on photography at the actual site.)
