Terra Cotta Warriors, Part 2

These are pictures of 1/2 life size bronze chariots that were found with the Terra Cotta Warriors.  The archeologists were baffled as to why there would be 4 horses pulling the chariots and when they recreated the chariots and tried to have four horses pull them, it wouldn't work because the four couldn't be coordinated to pull together, which is what they suspected would be the case.  What they discovered was that the two horses in the middle pull the chariot and the two on the outside are riding horses brought along for scouting purposes.  It is kind of like the RVs you see going down the road with a small vehicle attached to the back for the vacationers who want to be able to go sightseeing once they reach their destination, but not in the RV.  The detail on these chariots is remarkable!
