They shipped a few soldiers from the Terracotta Army to the Netherlands. I want to go and visit the museum were they are on display if I have the time. I read a newsreport a few weeks ago saying the soldiers dug up so far may only be the tip of the iceberg.

Snopes says that the claim that the Great Wall is the only object seen from space is indeed false. I only remember hearing that at one time.
That Terracotta Army is indeed fascinating! I would also love to see that display and travel to the Netherlands for other reasons. It's a great thing that China is preserving these finds, unlike radical groups in Afghanistan who blew up their own historical monuments.
