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.
