    The whole site is incredible but I was told when there that they are also reluctant to open the main tomb because the colour on the terracotta warriors that have been exposed to the atmosphere faded away within hours. They don’t currently have a method to prevent this happening and don’t want to potentially damage the artefacts in the main tomb until they have a good system to prevent this happening.
