Thousands of those guys, no two faces alike. Amazing and yet kinda gives you a funny feeling at the same time. Often times the things we hold up to praise in the ancient times were just the money blowing dreams of a rich guy. The Pyramids, Taj Mahal, Hanging Gardens, and now this, countless faces made for a man's tomb.
That fact aside, the amount of culture that has been left behind with the whole process is an example of the good coming with the bad. Everything from weapons, hair styles, building design, and battle tactics was preserved in the place that some peasants accidentally stumbled upon when digging for a well. It was a impressiveness that grew on you as you went through the grounds building up to the uncovered army standing in rows. Even more impressive and slightly frustrating is that we see only about one fourth of it. The rest is still underground awaiting better excavation techniques! Pretty neat though on the whole and made for some great
pictures, too.
