A proposito di questo titolo

After Anuradhapura's decline, Sri Lanka's center of power shifted to Polonnaruwa. In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore the rise of Polonnaruwa under King Vijayabahu I, who expelled the Chola invaders after decades of occupation. They discuss the reign of Parakramabahu I, the Great, who unified the island, built massive irrigation works like the Parakrama Samudra, and launched an ill-fated invasion of Burma. The conversation covers the architectural marvels of the Sacred Quadrangle, the decline under Kalinga Magha's invasion, and the subsequent fragmentation of the kingdom. They touch on the role of Buddhism as a unifying force, the influence of South Indian politics, and the eventual abandonment of Polonnaruwa as power moved to the hill country.
