    Are there any women or children in Qin's Armies?

    Question #81016. Asked by zbeckabee. (May 25 07 10:29 PM)

    		As far as I can ascertain, all the fgures in Qin's original terracotta army were of male warriors. However in 2007 a Norwegian, Marion Heyerdahl, has created a similar terracotta army which does contain women and children.

    		There may not be any women represented in the terracotta statues, but apparently they were well-represented in the tomb itself:

    "Also buried with Qin Shi Huang were all the women from his court who had not borne any children. Some historians believe that they were buried alive."

    By what man did 78 women have 88 children?

    Can you tell me what movie this is from? I don't remember the scene too well, but it was a scene where there was a battle between the armies of good and evil. The battle was evenly matched and there were a lot of men being killed. The leaders of those armies then freeze the battle and decide they will only use influence in order to win the souls of earth. I think this scene might have been an explanation from another character as to how the beginning occurred, though I'm really sure.
