The Xi'an Warriors in Second Life

The Xi'an Warriors or the Terracotta Army of Xi'an, is a collection of terracotta sculptures depicting the armies of Qin Shi Huang, the first Emperor of China. It is a form of funerary art buried with the emperor in 210–209 BC and whose purpose was to protect the emperor in his afterlife.

The figures were discovered in 1974 by local farmers in Lintong District, Xi'an, Shaanxi province. The figures include warriors, chariots and horses. Current estimates are that in the three pits containing the Terracotta Army there were over 8,000 soldiers, 130 chariots with 520 horses and 150 cavalry horses, the majority of which are still buried in the pits near by Qin Shi Huang's mausoleum.

There are four main pits associated with the terracotta army. These pits are located about 7 metres deep. Pit one, which is 230 metres long and 62 metres wide, contains the main army of more than 6,000 figures. Pit two has cavalry and infantry units as well as war chariots and is thought to represent a military guard. Pit three is the command post, with high-ranking officers and a war chariot. Pit four is empty, seemingly left unfinished by its builders.

Now, it's possible to visit the Xi'an Warriors in Second Life. In Pravda Dark Couture Sim, there is a very realistic rebuild of this awesome funerary monument. You have to descend into the pit to observe hundreds of figures of warriors and horses, as if you were visiting the real site in China.

My husband Ryce told me about it, and we recently went there. You should visit this place too, it's incredible!

Angel Manor State: Superlative Beauty

Angel Manor State is one of the most beauty Sim in Second Life. In fact, they are four Sims where a grand and magnificient palace sits majestically surrounded by gardens.

Kaya Angel, the owner and builder of this awesome place, defines its creation as a cultural mecca for residents of Second Life. A place where brings together all forms of creativity and art under one roof. 

He has really devised a monumental palace where visitors are surrounded by art and culture and they can admire such beauty, good taste and luxury. The true is that visiting this Sim time seems to stop and you can only walk and enjoy.

In this regard, inside the palace, there is the amazing Rose Theatre, where live music performances and other cultural events are showcased. Its purpose is staging and performing all kind of scenic arts like any real life theatre. 

In the current post I show some panoramic and outdoor views of this incredible site, but in a next post I will show any close up shots and some awesome interiors of this great building.
