Pagan, Myanmar : ウィキペディア英語版 | Bagan
Bagan (, ; formerly Pagan) is an ancient city located in the Mandalay Region of Burma (Myanmar). From the 9th to 13th centuries, the city was the capital of the Kingdom of Pagan, the first kingdom to unify the regions that would later constitute modern Myanmar. During the kingdom's height between the 11th and 13th centuries, over 10,000 Buddhist temples, pagodas and monasteries were constructed in the Bagan plains alone, of which the remains of over 2200 temples and pagodas still survive to the present day. The Bagan Archaeological Zone is a main draw for the country's nascent tourism industry. It is seen by many as equal in attraction to Angkor Wat in Cambodia.〔http://www.economist.com/news/special-report/21578171-why-investors-still-need-proceed-caution-promiseand-pitfalls Business: The promise—and the pitfalls〕 ==Etymology== Bagan is the present-day standard Burmese pronunciation of the Burmese word ''Pugan'' (), derived from Old Burmese ''Pukam'' (). Its classical Pali name is ''Arimaddana-pura'' (, lit. "the City that Tramples on Enemies"). Its other names in Pali are in reference to its extreme dry zone climate: ''Tattadesa'' (, "parched land"), and ''Tampadipa'' (, "bronzed country").〔Than Tun 1964: 117–118〕 The Burmese chronicles also report other classical names of ''Thiri Pyissaya'' () and ''Tampawaddy'' ().〔Maha Yazawin Vol. 1 2006: 139–141〕
