Eunuchs

I've promised to write more about my China trip of April. And I know, I've been so lazy writing here lately. To compensate, I'll have an interesting one today. :)
I visited the tomb of an emperor of the Han Dynasty. The Han emperors had stopped using live-sized terra cotta warriors to guard their tombs. However, as the kings still needed a lot of people to serve him, miniature warriors, servants, sheep, horses etc were carved and buried in the tombs. Among such servants, there were eunuchs.
Like most people, I have never seen a eunuch. Well, I had my chance in April; and now, you too. :) (The terra cottas' bodies were revealed because their original clothing had been eroded after thousands of years.)
A eunuch.
A "regular" male.
Eunuchs and female servants.

I have always thought that a male eunuch means they cut off the testicles. But with the pictures showing the penis to be so short, does it mean that they cut off the penis and leave the testicles. I am confused. sn - you must investigate this further - more pictures ;)
hahahahhaha, i had a very good laugh....
from what i "witnessed", it must be their testicles being removed and penis left intact. but since the factory for making testosterone is gone, i guess that will have an impact on the growth of their penis too??
