There are five interesting facts listed about the Terracotta Army. Choose three of them and describe why you find them the most interesting. Include any information historians were able to infer from the statues. The bronze weapons of the soldiers were found in excellent condition because they were coated with a thin layer of chromium which protected them for thousands of years.
