Chinese archeologists have discovered 1,700 earthenware statues of warriors and horses in a northern emperor’s tomb dating back at least 1,400 years, the New China News Agency reported. Some of the terra cotta figures were depicted singing and dancing, the tallest standing some five feet high. Archeologists believe that the tomb, near Houwanzhang village in the northern province of Hebei, bordering Beijing, dates back to the Northern Dynasties period from AD 386 to 550.
