China's Terra Cotta Warriors Start Moving On Their Own After 2,000 Years - Ancient Robots Come to Life (SAT PAR News Jun 23, 2014) As if by magic all of the estimated 7,000+ Terra Cotta Warriors and Horses from the Emperor Qin Shi Huang's Mausoleum in Lintong, Xian, Shaanxi Province in China have start slowly moving. Guards at the Museum of Qin Terra Cotta Warriors and Horses noticed the heads of the warriors turning to look around and the arms moving up and down. The horses started to shuffle slowly from foot to foot and moving their heads up and down. Scientists examining the phenomenon think that there is some microscopic motors with pre-programmed responses within the terra cotta. This was born out as the motions of the statues appear to repeat every 15 minutes. The interesting aspect is that the all the soldiers and horses are marching forward. This is posing a problem for the warehouse like museum as there is only so much space to keep marching. Liming Qiao, China director of the Global Wind Energy Council and an expert on energy distribution is puzzled about where the energy comes from to power the devices. He speculates that is may be from light as the statues were in darkness all that time. Scientist are rushing to get pieces of the ceramic material the warriors are made from so they can use high powered microscopes to discover how the ancients could have possibly made such technology that is beyond today's imagination.
