The discovery amazed the world because of the large number of life-like, life-size terracotta army soldiers in the tomb.

这一发现震惊了世界，因为墓中有大量栩栩如生、真人大小的兵马俑。

It's incredible to think that this material that's been around for no more than 2,000 years, that was initially discovered and in fact created by Chinese chemists and has been on this terracotta army for 2,000 years.

很难想象这种在地球上才存在了不到两千年的材料最初竟是由中国的化学家们发现并制造的，而且已经在兵马俑上封存了两千多年。
