Culture is the pulsating
vein of Myanmar that attracts the travelers
around the globe. Centuries old monuments,
whose origin was India, spread on the soil
of Myanmar. Geographically, Myanmar is a
country sandwiched between the two great
civilizations – China & India. But, Myanmar
stood and is standing out between these two
nations at the beginning of her
establishment.
Like other countries' history, the
fate and fortune of Myanmar is full of ups
and downs, rise and fall.A capital was
established, overthrown by its successor,
move another place, fall of a dynasty,
emergence of a charisma, unified scattered
villages, establishment of a new capital,
succeeded by its descendant, a coup, a new
establishment and again and again..... Yes,
Myanmar history goes in a CIRLCE with the
establishment of many new capitals. It is to
those capitals travelers visited and learnt
the cultural aspects of Myanmar. |
