Terracotta Army reconstruction yard

Dear Friends
I think that everybody knows the Terracotta Army https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terracotta_Army#Exhibitions of the first Emperor of China Qin Shi Huang https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qin_Shi_Huang , but less peoples are aware of the problems linked to it. On the Army site, three sheds cover the actual excavations. Two of them host the discovered terracotta warriors, the third hosts the commanders of the Army. Originally the warriors were hosted in covered corridors and, during the centuries, the collaps of their roofs reduced them in smithereens. Therefore, a big effort is now devoted to their not easy reconstruction (see the images). But unfortunately, as in many countries, the funds are limited and the lack of financing refrains further excavations and sadly also the excavation of the not far discovered Qin Shi mausoleum https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mausoleum_of_the_First_Qin_Emperor .
Salutations
Giancarlo
