BEIJING (Reuters) - Supposedly ancient Chinese terracotta warriors on show at a German museum are fakes, China confirmed Thursday, condemning the organizers for cheating the public.
The Hamburg Museum of Ethnology has offered refunds to about 10,000 visitors who have already viewed the “Power in Death” exhibition since it opened on November 25 as police probed the authenticity of the warriors.
The display of eight clay warrior figures, two horses and 60 smaller objects has remained open, with a sign stating that its authenticity was in dispute.
