He was “controlled” by security personnel.The pit he jumped into is up to 5.4 metres (18 feet) deep, according to the museum’s website.Built around 209 BC to stand guard over the tomb of the first emperor, the 8,000-strong Terracotta Army is one of China’s most important archaeological discoveries and considered a symbol of ancient Chinese artistic and military sophistication.A major tourist attraction in Xi’an, capital of the northern province of Shaanxi, it has been a UNESCO world heritage site since 1987.A worker at the museum told AFP on Saturday that the display was open as usual.
