As
the ancient capital of China through several dynasties, Xian
has a rich history which is reflected in the trove of archeological
sites. What I found most amazing is that the numerous artifacts
we did see at the Shaanxi History Museum and the Army of Terracotta
Warriors are likely only the tip of the iceberg. The vast
majority of sites, including all of the several emperors tombs,
have been left unexcavated as the technology does not yet
exist to effectively preserve what is found. I left filled
with curiousity about what glorious treasures still lay beneath
those huge mounds in the countryside, yet to be explored.
