China Gali Ratusan Patung Prajurit Terakota






Shaanxi – Ratusan patung prajurit Terakota yang berusia dua abad ditemukan dalam penggalian ketiga di Qin Shihuang UNESCO World Heritage, Shaanxi, China.

Sebanyak 120 koleksi patung prajurit ini ditemukan dalam penggalian yang dilakukan sejak 2009. Dua penggalian sebelumnya, dilansir Daily Mail, dilakukan pada 1974 dan 1985.

Artifak di China Barat ini terkubur bersama kaisar pertama Dinasti Qin, abad ketiga sebelum Masehi. Temuan ini termasuk beberapa barang yang belum pernah terlihat. Seperti drum perang dan tameng yang dicat.

Total, terdapat lebih dari 310 benda-benda kecil yang baru digali, bersama 12 kuda dari tanah liat. Penggalian ini meliputi tanah seluas 200 meter persegi di lubang pertama, yang terbesar dan paling dikunjungi Terracota Warriors and Horses Museum.

Beberapa temuan tak biasa lainnya juga termasuk kotak alat untuk kereta kuda, panah, drum yang dicat dan beberapa benda yang dicat ungu khas China. Begitu sepenuhnya digali, semua akan dibawa ke museum.

Lebih dari seribu patung berkuran manusia dengan wajah serta gaya rambut yang unik dan berbeda-beda, telah ditemukan dari situs penggalian tersebut. Patung itu ditempatkan untuk menjaga makam kaisar pertama China, Qin Shi Huang.

Terakota bukanlah nama dari prajurit Dinasti Qin ini. Terakota berasal dari Bahasa Italia, berarti ‘tanah bakar’, yang sebenarnya dari Bahasa Latin terra cocta. Dalam Bahasa Indonesia, terakota bisa diartikan tembikar dari tanah liat.
