| Was the astounding discovery made at the 1350 Main Street construction site of numerous terracotta warrior figures actually part of the famous Terracotta Army? That army consists of 7,000 life-size tomb terracotta figures of warriors and horses buried with the self-proclaimed first emperor of Qin (Qin Shi Huangdi) in 210-209 BC.
