INVENTORY OF MONUMENTS
AT PAGAN
by Pierre Pichard
Bagan
is Myanmar's foremost historical site and was the capital of the first dynasty
to unify Myanmar between the 11th and 13th centuries AD. Bagan also ranks
as one of the world's most spectacular and important Buddhist places. At
Bagan there are over 2,000 religious monuments spread over an area of sixteen
square miles.
The
Inventory consists of one or several pages for each monument, with
a special layout presenting the line drawings, photographs and descriptive
text. There is also a full introduction in English, French and Myanmar,
together with extensive notes, tables and maps. This represents one of
the most distinguished and important publishing projects of our times.
The Inventory is not just visually impressive, but represent the
first complete record of Bagan's spectacular two thousand plus Buddhist
monuments.
