Terracotta Warrior Impersonator Gets Caught

by Leora on September 18th, 2006

TerraCotta Warrior ImpersonatorWhy would someone want to impersonate a Terracotta Warrior?  I bet it’s creepy down there and Chinese police are scary!

Lucky for the German student who did the deed Chinese officials simply disrobed him and sent him home instead of charging him.  They did however confiscate his home made robe that I’m sure took a long time to make.

Here’s my advice; if you’re going to spend loads of your time making a replica of an ancient robe, wear it for Halloween!

A German art student briefly took up a place among China’s famed Terracotta Warriors over the weekend — only to be discovered, disrobed and sent home.

Pablo Wendel sneaked into a pit housing around 2,000 ancient lifesize pottery warriors and horses Saturday afternoon, donned the military costume he had made himself, and took up a position on a small pedestal he had brought along.

He stood there, motionless and unblinking, for a couple of minutes until police found him, the Xinhua news agency said.

The 26-year-old had his costume confiscated and was sent from Xian, the World Heritage site where the warriors are located, back to the eastern city of Hangzhou, where he studies performance art. Via Yahoo
