He created an empire. When his enemies ambushed him, they left no trace of his body.
The Chronicles sang of his glory and his merit. His capital, Bagan, left behind thousands of breathtaking Buddhist temples – a unique legacy, a gift to the world. Bagan has another aspect to its heritage: the story of a struggle for power and the forging of a nation that we know today as Myanmar or Burma.
Like a whodunnit, unravelling the suspects behind the assassination discloses a deeper story about this great civilization a thousand years ago. The people, their beliefs, their arts, their desires. Their achievements and their defeats.
The mystery of who killed the king of Bagan is a gateway to exploring the puzzle of how Bagan came to be. Why its people filled a parched land with pagodas. Why their story deserves to be told.
