About Old Bagan

Old Bagan is an ancient city located in the Mandalay Region of Myanmar. From the 9th to 13th centuries, the city was the capital of the Pagan Kingdom, the first kingdom that unified the regions that would later constitute modern Myanmar. During the dominion's peak between the 11th and thirteenth centuries, over 10,000 Buddhist temples, pagodas and monasteries were constructed within the Bagan plains alone, of which the remains of over 2,200 temples and pagodas still live to tell the tale to the current. The Bagan Archaeological Zone is a prime appeal for the united states of america's nascent tourism industry.

It is seen by many as same in appeal to Angkor Wat in Cambodia. According to the Burmese chronicles, Bagan changed into based within the 2nd century AD, and fortified in 849 AD by using King Pyinbya, thirty fourth successor of the founding father of early Bagan. Mainstream scholarship but holds that Bagan changed into founded within the mid-to-overdue ninth century by way of the Mranma Burmans, who had currently entered the Irrawaddy valley from the Nanzhao Kingdom. It became amongst numerous competing Pyu city-states until the late tenth century when the Burman settlement grew in authority and grandeur.
