Elephants on Stone Statue Road at Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum, Zijin Shan, Nanjing, Jiangsu, China (@ Ian Trower/Corbis)
comments,
- Twelve pairs of animals guard this road, followed by four pairs of warriors.""So why the elaborate security system?
- Construction of the Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum began in the late 14th century…""For a leader who claimed the Mandate of Heaven
- These well-ordered grounds would be the perfect place…""For a certain aristocratic pachyderm we know
- Visitors who walk this row of stone sentries…""Have a bit of a hike before they reach their destination
