The Terra Cotta Warriors in Xian, China. It really is jaw-dropping when seen in person. You're in a giant air-craft-hanger-like bulding which down below has hundreds of these, and that's just one building. There's couple others, each housing hundreds more. There are also some which havn't been discovered yet. However, that's not the good part. Each of these warriors use the same moulds for the bodies and armor, however, each face is individually crafted to a specific soldier in the era these were made. None are alike.
