Pit 3 is the smallest of the three pits. It is beleived by experts to be a sort of command centre for the army groups in the other two pits.
The unearthed artifacts include 68 terra-cotta soldiers, four horses & a chariot. Some of the warriors do not have heads. Archaeologists speculated that at some later point in history vandals broke into this pit & deliberately destroyed the terra-cotta warriors.
It is amazing that various kinds of weaponry found in Pit 3 such as bronze spears, bronze swords, halberds, crossbows & arrowheads are well preserved. Despite being buried for more than 2,000 years the edges of these weapons are still sharp as in the past.
