New 3D imaging technology might be able to solve the mysteries surrounding the 8,000 Terracotta Warriors, it has been revealed.
Many experts have speculated that whether they were built using a template or were based on real soldiers from the Emperor's army but they believed that it might be latter because of the detailing in their faces suggests that every Warrior is individual, News.com.au reported.
Archaeologists took high-quality photos of 30 different warriors from different angles to analyse how different they really are and then the images were fed into an algorithm that produces a 3D image to be analysed.
However, the process is in very early stages but it appears that it might help find the answers in the near future.
8,000 Terracotta Warriors considered as the greatest marvels in human history, which depict the armies of Qin Shi Huang, China's first emperor, were found in his tomb in 1974, where they were placed to protect the emperor in the afterlife in 210-209 BCE.
