Seems about on par cost-wise with a normal 40K army.

The good news is the terracota army is probably a Communist hoax, so no peasants starved due to their creation. The bad news is hundreds of artisans were likely liquidated to preserve the secret...while millions of peasants starved due to Communist policies.

Let's stop talking nonsense?
The "everything china-related that's not negative is a hoax somehow" is really getting old and out of hand

It's their moon landing.

What's with the negative votes? Is Danbooru becoming a pro-communist propaganda website?

I think that wasn't his point. He said that the CCP was covering up this part of Chinese history and turned it into a positive when it wasn't. The communists will do everything to make themselves look good, but if you try to dig a soil in China they will throw you in prison and torture you in commie ways because they don't want you to discover skeletons beneath their soil and that's EVERYWHERE in China.

@Celesphonia : All authoritarian government does that, not just the CCP (who are only communist in name).

And yes, "Steak" just as a freak-out, because this is a post who make a funny parallel between people obsess with tiny miniature and an historical monument.

Not everything need to be some mindboggling conspiracy!

Clearly the comic depicts the conspiracy of China trying to undercut the western minifig market with cheap *checks estimate form* $4.5 million 1/1 scale figures.

Whatever drugs you're on...you either took too much or not enough.
Yes, millions of peasants starved because Mao and his cronies were morons.
Because of the terracotta army? Not even if he was high on the purest crack cocaine on the market.
Ain't no hoax, and no artisans were butchered...and this is coming from a guy that's not welcoming of PR China.
