Bagan : Archeological Zone (The Land of
Pagodas)
Sir James Scott, in his book, (THE BURMAN
1882) had said of Bagan, that Bagan is in
many respects the most remarkable religious
City of the world. The whole space is
thickly studded with Pagodas of all sizes
and shapes, and the very ground is so
thickly covered with crumbling remnants of
all vanished shrines, that according to
popular saying you cannot move foot or hand
without touching a sacred thing.
Bagan was founded in 849 AD and became the
capital of first unified Kingdom and the
first multinational Union of Myanmar in 1044
AD. It is located in the east bank of the
famous Ayeyarwady River with the span of 42
square kilometers where there are over 5,000
