Terra Cotta
Here's another slick video on YouTube that I sometimes like to show to my classes. It focuses on the discovery of the tomb of Qin Shihuangdi, the first emperor of China. The accidental discovery of the terra cotta warriors that guard the tomb in 1974 is the greatest archaeological discovery of my lifetime. This is an amazing story.
