Field generals planning battle tactics.

Stop 9: Pit #3

Pit #3 is believed to be a command post that held 68 Generals and a few horses.  Notice the depth of the soil that eventually covered the pit.  The depth in places is more than 20 feet deep.  It's no wonder that the Terra-cotta Warriors were lost to the ages - the sands of time simply erased this moment from the mind.
