#FotoVorschlag: Näher dran geht's nicht // Can't get any closer

Näher dran an die #TerrakottaArmee kommt man nicht und sieht so die unglaublichen Details - jeder #Krieger ist einzigartig, bis hin zu den Schuhsohlen! Auch wenn die Farben mittlerweile kaum noch zu sehen sind, hat mich das sehr beeindruckt. Es zeigt aber auch, dass auch damals schon größenwahnsinnige Spinner an der Macht waren 🙄 // You can't get any closer to the #TerracottaArmy than this and marvel at the wonderful details - each #warrior is unique, down to the soles of his shoes! The colours are mostly faded now but still, I was deeply impressed. It also shows that megalomaniac leaders aren't a recent development. 🙄
