"A 2,200-year-old crossbow..."


Not something you see everyday...
[Although the link is from 'The Daily Fail' (sorry) - they have a link to the original site with movie too] :-)
"The crossbow, which was found half-buried next to one of the terracotta statues, was discovered by archaeologists working at the site. It is the first time archaeologists have seen a complete version of the weapon, although they previously found 10 more broken crossbows in the same pit. The bow measures almost five feet in length, with a height of about 50 inches."

Thanks Dave interesting article. I saw the Terracotta Army when they came to the British Museum a few years back, it's a fascinating bit of history!

Bet it was a sod to draw though....
