Scared in the way: the tourist jumped on the soldiers of the famous terracotta army (video)

The pit in which the terracotta army is exhibited, and in which he jumped has a depth of about 6 meters. So he did not break anything miraculously. Despite the shocking incident, the museum employee reported that the exposition remains open to the public in the usual mode, and officials are working promptly to evaluate and eliminate losses.

Terracotta army is a collection that captures the spirit of more than 8,000 in full size soldiers, created 2000 years ago to protect the tomb of the first Emperor of China, Qin Shihuandi. It is considered one of the largest archeological treasures in the country. The Terracotta Army has the status of UNESCO World Heritage Since 1987 and has been attracted to millions of visitors every year. And some of them try to see the terracotta warriors closer.

So, in February 2025, a male tourist suddenly jumped over the fence and jumped directly into the pit. Last year, the woman broke into a pit with a baby in her arms. And in 2006, one German guy wore a homemade "terracotta costume", climbed through the railing and jumped into a pit. He lay still until he was accidentally exposed, finding that the "statues "'s eyes were moving. Police also did not immediately find him among terracotta warriors.

But even then, the German continued to play the role of the statue: to remain silent and not to move. So the police had to pick it up. We will remind, earlier Focus wrote that the tomb of Qin Shihuandi hides not only clay soldiers, but also much more dangerous secrets: the rivers of mercury. The ancient texts stated that mercury imitated rivers in the tomb.
