In March 1974, one of the most astonishing archaeological discoveries in history was made in the heart of China: the Terracotta Warriors. These incredible clay statues were built and buried over 2000 years ago - but who made them? And why?

Dan Snow comes face to face with the warriors and heads to the ancient city of Xi’an to discover the story of a man known as the First Emperor of China. He learns that far from just building the Terracotta Army, he changed the path of Chinese history forever.
