The Terracotta Army

72 min

Beneath a farmer’s field near Xi’an, thousands of clay soldiers stand where they have waited for more than two millennia. Follow their discovery back to the reign of Qin Shi Huang, through the vast burial pits, silent ranks and vanished workshops that shaped an emperor’s hidden world. Thomas tells their story in a calm, measured voice for sleep.
