Some people have very strong beliefs and superstitions. Whether it’s just walking around the ladder rather than under it, or a dedicated attendance at church every Sunday (or, alternatively, tuning into BB every night), many of us invest time and effort in what we believe to be true and important. Few of us, however, go so far as China’s First Emperor Qin Shihuang, who - preparing for immortality - ordered the construction of 1,000 terracotta soldiers to serve him in the afterlife. Not to mention the horses, grooms and chariots that were also discovered in his tomb in 1974.
And there was me thinking that I pack too much when I go on a trip. The famous Terracotta Army is one of the most incredible sights on earth, commonly described as the Eighth Wonder of the World – and you’ll be able to catch these ancient warriors in all their glory when they come to the British Museum in London. But why not go and see them at their burial place in all their glory?
