The soldier behind me is in position to ride a chariot |
According to our tour guide, each warrior face was different, and created by a craftsman based on sketches from actual faces |
The figures were destroyed shortly after the tomb was constructed so as they are unearthed, they need to be reassembled (Photos courtesy of NU) |
