Hello,
Thank you Steve Talley for bringing this necessary piece of history to the forefront. I am still in awe of the scale of these warrior statues and the mythology of this period in Chinese history. My fascination is being revisited as I write this email to you.
I was quite fascinated with this program and have been sending the link to friends today. When will the program be aired in Miami, Florida? I would appreciate you letting me know. This is why Channel 13 is so important in our lives, because of programs like this one. It was a shop stopping piece…well documented!
Thanks again for sharing,

Thanks for the show.
but you had a a quirk in the build time line suggesting that a master craftsman could only build one warrior a month.
The craftsmen likely had several warriors in the works at any one time it would be unlikely that they would stop all work for ten days as the clay dried. They would have started work on another warrior as the first dried, then likely moved on to yet another as the first two dried.
Likely having at least three works in progress at any point in time Who sits around watching clay dry when there is work to be done. Not even your test build crew did, they went back to the mold shop to continue working as the clay dried.
