今天我们的前两个行程都是有关秦始皇的，大家是不是很好奇呢？那就让我们开始今天的行程吧。

1974年3月，临潼县晏寨乡西杨村村民在秦始皇陵东1.5千米处打井时，意外地发现了许多碎陶人，经考古工作者探测，这是一个长方形的秦代兵马俑坑。

这一发现震惊了中外。为了保护好这些罕见的、具有重要历史价值的文物，1975年，国务院批准在一号坑址上建一座16 300平方米的博物馆。该馆于1979年建成并正式对外开放。秦始皇兵马俑博物馆被列为中国十大名胜之一，还于1987年被联合国教科文组织宣布为世界文化遗产。这是世界上最伟大的奇迹之一，全世界的人都应该来这里看一看。不看金字塔不算真正到过埃及，不看秦俑不算真正到过中国。

秦始皇兵马俑共有三个坑，一号坑面积为14 260平方米；二号坑为6 000平方米；三号坑为520平方米。

It's a great marvel of the world.Everyone should come here to have a look.If you don't visit the Great Pyramid，you haven't been to Egypt；if you don't see the Qin Terracotta Warriors and Horses，you haven't paid a visit to China.
