>new discoveries
Sinologist here that shit is old as fuck. They even deducted a peasant revolt or raid on the tomb from the state of the stone armors and the burial sites that show the structures around them were at some point torched and many of some of the sets damaged by the collapsing buildings.
The armors are believed to be an inclusion of the fallen whos bodies were beyond recognition as the rest got a lifesize statue made of them. Look close and you will see they are all unique and the weapons they carried were the actual arms used in battle.
