Terracuta - The Greatest War of All Time
Finds in pit one included crossbow triggers, swords, lances, spears and over forty thousand arrow heads. Analysis has shown that blades were sharpened, and many are so well preserved that they'd still be lethal to day. Every household had to supply an able bodied male for the states conscript army. And then strict army discipline made them ruthless fighters. If one man was lost from a squad, the others had to capture the head of an enemy. The terracuta figures enable us to visualize what this extraordinary army would have looked like.
