Terra Cotta Warrior

Be prepared for the DCist Flickr Pool to be infiltrated by an invading army. These Terra Cotta Warriors have started their advance at National Geographic and scouts have already been spotted in the Pool, like this one by erin m. EXIF.

You can find more Terra Cotta Warriors on display now through March 2010 at the National Geographic Museum. See over 100 artifacts from the 2000-year-old sculpted army that guarded China's First Emperor from any dangers as he entered the afterlife. Tickets are $12 (adult), sold by date and 30 minute blocks, and can be purchased online.

They should have taken the time to scrub these down, fix the cracks, and apply a nice fresh coat of paint before displaying them.
