"I have seen a few documentaries regarding the Terracotta Warriors that were buried around and under the tomb of the emperor of the unified China. However, this new documentary in 2024 gives us more information regarding what is being found 50 years later. Much more intrigue lies beneath the burned ruins where the warriors were found. There is much more detail regarding the fall of the Qin dynasty, and one of the last surviving archaeologists of the original find gives his testimony about the excitement of unearthing the first face of the terracotta army. Little did he realize the large undertaking that would follow. The newest member of the archaeological team , as well as the senior member share their knowledge of new findings of the imperial family, their backstabbing, cruelty, plots of usurping, and written testimony of the period. Some of the documentary is acted out, and shows how key members of the imperial family, and their ministers may have plotted with one another to take the throne. These power hungry people contributed to their own demise and perhaps even the demise of the legacy they wanted to leave behind. It's fascinating and I was really happy to learn more about these remarkable monuments of history. 70% Chinese audio. 30% English audio."
