This is my experience in Beijing, China in the Summer of 2009.
If you came to this webpage first, it's better if you
start from the beginning of the story.
At Xi'an
This is one of the first exhibits you see when you walk into the Han Museum.
These three guys are naked because the clothes they wore had rotted away
over time. Hey, they had worn them since before 200 BC!
They also had arms at one time too but their arms were made
of wood and these rotted away as well. Only the clay has endured the centuries.
