Terracotta Warriors fight enemy of time

For a few minutes a couple of weeks ago, I imagined what the real men who formed the basis of the Terracotta Army outside Xi'an, Shaanxi province, were like.

What would it have been like to sit among them? What would they have talked about? What was on their meal plates?

I bet some of those conversations 2,200 years ago would have been about the young emperor whose arrogance brought them to this ancient capital.
