Event: Terra Cotta Warriors Exhibtion Tour
Luncheon & Talk with Juliann Wolfgram *83
Bowers Museum, 2002 North Main Street Santa Ana, CA 92706
Sunday, July 20th, 2008 at 12:00pm
Don't miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see one of the 20th century's greatest archaeological finds, often referred to as the Eighth Wonder of the Ancient World. The Princeton Club of Orange County, along with the Association for Princeton Graduate Alumni and the Princeton Club of Southern California, welcomes you to visit the largest exhibit of Emperor Qin's Terra Cotta Army ever seen outside of China.
China's First Emperor, the boy king who united the country in 221 BC and began construction of the first Great wall, was not only obsessed with building but also a fanatic about death. After experimenting with potions to prolong his life, the megalomaniac king resigned himself to death on his own terms. He would build a standing army of 7,000 soldiers to enforce his rule over the afterlife. This terra cotta army of soldiers, servants, musicians, acrobats, and animals silently remained underground for two thousand years until, in 1974, Chinese farmers digging a well made the startling discovery of a terra cotta head.
