This is a original travel book from 1904, a different age but since then
almost nothing has changed, so it's very up to date. |

A REVIEW IN THE NATION, Thailand's leading
english language newspaper
Published on Jul 25, 2003
Bagan Panorama
By Myat Thit and H Kraft
Published by H Kraft and Myo Aung
Available at Asia Books
This book is a visual feast, with a special subject
– the ancient pagoda city of Bagan in central Burma.
Bagan, or Pukam as it is known to Thais, has
inspired visitors for centuries and is regarded by
Unesco as one of the archaeological treasures of the
world. The city was founded in 107 AD, but it was
not until King Anawrahta came to power in 1044 and
converted to Buddhism in 1057 that the
temple-building era began.
Now Bagan stands as a “skeleton of the glorious
past”, the symbol of human endeavour and religious
faith.
As the book reveals, these monuments are a mere
reminder of the city’s former glory when the city
was the Burmese capital between the 11th and 13th
centuries. Although many of the temples are in ruins
now due to centuries of neglect, natural disasters
and looting, there are still an astonishing 2,217
temples and stupas still standing in an area of just
16 square kilometres.
Fortunately for the city, its remoteness and Burma’s
political and economic isolation mean that Bagan has
been immune from ugly cosmopolitan forces, and, as a
result, there’s not a single shot in the book that
depicts modernity – what you see instead are ox
carts, thatched roofs and houses on stilts.
The photos on their own are enough to for you to be
awed by the city’s wealth of culture and tradition,
making you want to visit the city yourself.
A fine read
