Hasta que no llegas a Bagan no te puedes imaginar lo impresionante que es
Todo fue fruto de un gran fervor religioso que empezo en 1057 y solo duro 200 anos , pues despues de esta fecha los templos se abandonaron durante siglos
El rey Anawratha decidio pasar del budismo Hindu y Mahayana al budismo Theravada , que es el que actualmente se profesa en Myanmar,
El rey con los consejos de un misionero, pidio ayuda al rey Mon de Thaton( Norte de Tailandia ) , que se la nego y esto le obligo a atacarle y conquistar Tathon .
El botin consistio en llevarse al propio rey, 32 juegos del Tripitaka (textos budistas),Reliquias , monjes, arquitectos y 30.000 prisioneros de guerra que trabajaron en la construccion de los templos
A partir de aqui florecio Bagan, como ya lo afirmo MarcoPolo , aunque 200 anos mas tarde declino rapidamente sin saberse exactamente porque , aunque algunos lo achacan a las invasiones de los Mongoles
Voy a intentar identificar unos cuantos templos, aunque no creais que es un trabajo facil
Up to you do not reach Bagan you can not imagine how impressive it is
All started with a religious fervor on 1057 and only lasted 200 years, because after these dates the temples were abandoned for centuries.
Anawratha king decided to pass from the Hindu and Mahayana Buddhism to the Theravada Buddhism, that actually is professed in Myanmar
The king with a misioner advice , asked help to the Tathon Mon King( North Thailand) , that he dennied and this forced him to attack and conquer Tathon
The booty consistted of the own king, 32 sets of Tripitaka (Buddhist tests),Relics, monks, arquitects and 30.000 war prisoners that colaborated in the temples construction
From this moment Bagan flourished , as Marco Polo comfirmed, though 200 years latter declined without knowing exactly why, though somebody
think that it was affected by the Mongol Invasion
I will try to idetify some temples, though is not an easy task
