AI Summary

Researchers at the Mausoleum Site Museum in Xi'an examined the Terracotta Army’s figures, chariots, horses, and weapons for clues about who built them. Their study, led by Xiaoxi Li, found evidence that women and children also contributed to the construction of the life‑size terracotta figures created in the third century B.C. for Emperor Qin Shihuang’s tomb. The findings challenge the long‑held assumption that the army was built exclusively by men. The research adds new detail to the understanding of the workforce behind the ancient monument.
