This is the spectacular moment clouds resembled Terracotta Army warrior figures marching into battle in China.

Footage shows the sky, which appeared to have the shapes of soldiers, captured by a motorist in Hengshui, Hebei province, on September 1.

The incredible cloud formation with a bright yellow-orange backdrop mirrored the iconic Terracotta Army, evoking the legendary fighters, archers, and horses.

It was a sight reminiscent of the 8,000 life-sized statues that have fascinated the world for centuries.

The Terracotta Army consists of clay soldiers, horses, and chariots buried with China's first emperor, Qin Shi Huang, to protect him in the afterlife.

Discovered in 1974 near Xi'an, Shaanxi province, China, these figures have been extensively excavated and studied. They are intricately detailed and depict a significant archaeological find, offering valuable insights into ancient Chinese art, military practices, and burial customs.
