When were the terracotta warriors and horses built, buried and discovered?
On March 29, 1974 three farmers were at work when they hit some terracotta pottery shards which lead to finding the terracotta warriors. The warriors were built after the Great Wall of China. The terracotta army were discovered by accident in China while framers were digging in a broken pit and found 6000 life-sized terracotta figures. In 1976 two more pits were discovered with more terracotta warriors. The Terracotta army was built over 2200 years ago (209BCE)
