Author Yuwei Ai DescriptionEN English Description The Terracotta Warriors, a stunning group of life-size sculptures located in Xi'an, China, is one of the most significant archaeological discoveries of the 20th century. Made more than 2,200 years ago to guard the tomb of China's Qin Shi Huang, these sculptures have stood the test of time, immortalized over millennia. However, they now face a modern threat: climate change. Increasingly extreme weather patterns, such as increased rainfall, fluctuating temperatures and rising humidity, pose significant risks to the preservation of these ancient artifacts. These climate changes have accelerated the aging of the Terracotta Warriors, leading to problems such as color fading, material erosion, and potential structural damage. Conservation efforts are being continuously adapted to mitigate these effects, highlighting the urgent need for sustainable measures to protect this valuable human heritage in order to meet the continuing challenges posed by climate change.
