Man Smashes Ancient Terracotta Warriors in China

A recent incident at the Emperor Qin Shi Huang’s Mausoleum Site Museum in Shaanxi province, China, has caused damage to some of the ancient sculptures of the third-century BCE “Terracotta Army.” According to reports from the Agence France-Press (AFP), a tourist managed to force his way into the display last Friday, May 31, resulting in harm to two life-sized terracotta soldiers at the UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The Terracotta Army, a collection of thousands of clay figures depicting soldiers and horses, was created to honor Emperor Qin Shi Huang, the first emperor to unify China and a member of the short-lived Qin dynasty. The sculptures are housed in the Emperor Qin Shi Huang’s Mausoleum Site Museum, a site of immense historical and cultural significance.

In a video that circulated online, the man can be seen lying against one of the ancient statues in a nonchalant manner, with at least one toppled statue visible nearby. Chinese officials have stated that the individual climbed over the guardrail and protective net before jumping into the excavation site, causing damage to the artifacts. They have attributed the man’s actions to a history of mental illness and have launched an investigation into the incident, as the mausoleum is protected under state law.

The Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor was designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1987 for its exceptional technical and artistic qualities. The clay sculptures of the Terracotta Army are not only a testament to the military organization of the Qin dynasty but also a representation of ancient Chinese history and culture.

Authorities are working to assess the extent of the damage caused by the tourist and ensure the preservation of these invaluable artifacts. The incident serves as a reminder of the importance of respecting and protecting our world’s cultural heritage for future generations to appreciate and learn from.
