How cool! I got to go see the terracotta soldiers and to stand on top of his mausoleum mound. It was cool. I’m telling you that whenever they finally get to open that tomb and then open it to the public, I hope I get to go see the inside for myself. That is going to be amazing.
On another Chinese note, you should check out the article I just wrote and posted on FR called “China and Change.”

Is this the guy who was reviled in history, the King of Qin who committed actual and cultural genocide and was revered by Mao?
Or was that someone else?

So there are step pyramids in North, Central and South America, Africa, and now Asia. (Also I'm sure in many other places.)
Is it because it's just natural to build in this manner when using stone?

For those interested, the British Museum will be having a special exhibit of some of the Terracotta warriors from Xi'an, along with some other recent discoveries from the site. The exhibit will run from September 13, 2007 through April 6, 2008. Here is a link to the exhibit site:
