Mingun Pagoda

Владимир Куцый (Vlad Kutsey)


There is an interesting back-story to this unusual and magnificent pagoda which was meant to be the biggest pagoda in the world. Rumour has it that the King, who decided to build such a massive temple, had been told by an astronomer that once the Pagoda was finished he would die and the Kingdom would turn into ashes. Thus Mingun Pagoda was left unfinished and abandoned, but, nevertheless, survived 2 big earthquakes, and now with huge cracks running down It’s sides looks even more special, grandiose and stunning.

Бирма продолжает удивлять! Это одно из интереснейших мест, в которых мне удалось побывать. Магическая пагода Мингун, которая должна была стать самой большой пагодой в мире (около 150 метров высотой), не была завершена из-за пророчества смерти короля.
Два мощных землетрясения за последние 150 лет придали еще более мистический вид этой пагоде.
