These are the explosive audios between Aida Merlano and Armando Benedetti
Some explosive recordings, in the possession of SEMANA, between Aida Merlano and the current ambassador Armando Benedetti reveal what until now had remained secret: a backroom deal between Gustavo Petro’s presidential campaign and the former deputy, at the request of Nicolás Maduro and his regime.
From Week
The audios reveal the crisis that Merlano has entered due to his possible extradition to Colombia from Venezuela, where he remained for at least three years after starring in a cinematic escape in Colombia. All of his complaints are directed at Petro, to whom he directly threatens to tell what he knows.
In conversations Merlano always speaks with Benedetti. In the first recording he gives him serious warnings. «Well, tell that to my Colombian president», begins Merlano. Benedetti interrupts her: “Hell, what do I know, stop, stop, as far as I know that man knows nothing, this is Laura’s stupidity… she likes to be so smart.”
But Merlano is categorical: “They extradite me in a surprising way. If they do something to me behind my back, I swear to God I’ll get to Colombia, take out the artillery and start attacking.”

When archaeologist Zhao Kangmin answered the phone one day in April 1974, he was only told that a group of farmers had found some remains while digging a well.
The farmers were desperate for water in the middle of a drought, and had gone three feet when they came across hard red earth. Below, they had received life-size ceramic heads and several bronze arrowheads.
It could be an important find, said boss Zhao, so he should go to see it as soon as possible.
Zhao, a local farmer turned museum curator in China’s central Shaanxi province – who died in 2018 aged 81 – was serious about what could have been.
The Qin era
Zhao knew that figures had been placed in the past in the area near the city of Xian, not far from the tomb of the first emperor of China, Qin Shi Huang.
Ten years earlier, He himself received three kneeling crossbows. But it was never certain that they dated from the time of the emperor, who united the Chinese nation for the first time under the short-lived Qin dynasty (221-206 BC).
But what this expert was about to discover was more than anything he had imagined.
Subtitle, Although he never achieved fame, Zhao seemed happy with the recognition he received.
The peasants became one of the greatest archaeological discoveries of the 20th century: an army of approx. 8,000 terracotta soldiersdesigned on an industrial scale 2,200 years earlier to protect the emperor in the afterlife.
It was a a whole ghost army, with horses and chariots, hidden underground and did not see the living.
Zhao went to the discovery site with a colleague. “We were so excited “We were riding our bikes so fast it seemed like we were flying.”he would later write, in an essay in 2014.
He once told the British historian John Man that he saw “seven or eight pieces, pieces of legs, arms and two heads, near the well” when he arrived.
He said he understood that immediately They are probably the remains of statues from the Qin era.
They told the farmers to stop their work. They came across the pieces weeks earlier and, indeed, They had already sold some of the arrowheads bronze for scrap.

The remains were collected and brought to the museum in trucks. Zhao began painstakingly putting the pieces together. Some of them, he said later, were the size of a finger.
After three working days, two terracotta warriors stood before him, each 1.78 meters high.
The fear
Although Zhao was excited by this incredible discovery, he was also nervous. In 1974, China was in the final stages of Chairman Mao’s Cultural Revolution, under which the frightened red guards sought to destroy old traditions and ways of thinking in order to “
