A proposito di questo titolo

Long before the Konbaung Dynasty or the British colonial era, there was the Pagan Kingdom — the first true unification of the lands that would become modern Myanmar. In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore the rise of Pagan under King Anawrahta in the 11th century, his conquest of the Mon city of Thaton, and the transformative arrival of Theravada Buddhism. They discuss the construction of thousands of temples on the plains of Bagan, the role of the sangha (monastic order) in statecraft, and the kingdom's eventual decline under Mongol invasions. Along the way, they touch on the 'Thirty Comrades' of modern independence being a deliberate echo of Pagan's own legendary heroes, and how the Pagan era shaped Myanmar's ethnic and religious landscape for centuries to come. This episode draws on epigraphic evidence, archaeological findings, and the chronicles of Hmannan Yazawin, the Glass Palace Chronicle.
