GUBYAUKGYI PAGODA

The Gubyaukgyi Pagoda? First, for the paintings in its ambulatory restored by UNESCO, inspired by the most orthodox Theravada Buddhism and depicting scenes from Vimanavathu. And for his lapidary inscriptions. Indeed, it houses the local Rosetta Stone. For the record, the Myazedi stone is a unique document: it is the only one written in Pâli, Burmese, Pyu and Mon at the same time. Its discovery, in 1886, made it possible to finally decipher the Pyu script and to establish the chronology of the reigns of Kyanzittha and its two predecessors.
