I have not seen real sized replicas. But there could be one. The replica in my room is a small replica of "bowman."
Where did you guys find or see those miniature replicas? Where are they made?
I have found them in shops here in austin. One named Tesoros. They are online .. you could check and see if they ship items???
The minatures are about 20-50 dollars. Very heavy and well done. As for where they are produced?
Im clueless.
Mine is made near Xian, China, with the similar soil of the original. I bought it through a Chinese seller.
I do not know whether the following offers good ones or not, but for your information..

Bodies in the Great Wall of China
I know that this rumor/theory about workers' bodies in the Great Wall has been in (American) books for years but I do not believe it -- I am sure that supervisors of the time wd/ have bene willing to save time and do it but:
- never seen any arch. support
- never heard of any primary source support (and the chinese wrote everything down)
- putting a mass of organic matter like that makes no sense structurally, and they were very careful in building a stable. long-lasting wall.
I remember reading this in some more modern book - but I do not have the reference now so I can not "prove" it.

Welcome to A2K.
Isn't part of the Great Wall rubble?
