Tras recoger nuestro equipaje, nos encaminamos a pasar el control de inmigración. Unos metros antes de llegar, vemos a una joven a través de una cristalera que separa la Terminal con el exterior, con un cartel y donde aparecían nuestros nombres. Era personal del Receptivo, Adventur Myanmar, con el que habíamos contratado algunos servicios en el país, entre los que se encontraban, la tramitación de la Carta de Invitación para que nos emitieran el Visado de entrada. Nos dirigimos hacia ella, y para nuestra sorpresa gira la hoja, y en perfecto castellano pone: “Presenta la Carta de invitación y no paguéis nada, la agencia lo ha pagado todo” Pues bien, al presentar los pasaportes, nos solicitan 2 fotos, que no tenemos y no pasa nada. No nos solicitan la carta de invitación, imagino que ellos tendrían copia, todo muy fácil, rápido y sencillo. 1 Nos trasladamos a sus oficinas, ya que teníamos que abonar el importe de los hoteles reservados, 4 vuelos internos, dos visitas y traslados de día completo junto con el treking de dos días. Terminamos con las gestiones, yos llevan al Hotel para iniciar rápidamente la visita de la ciudad por nuestra cuenta. Comenzamos nuestro día de visitas por el centro de la ciudad de Yangon, por la Pagoda Shwedagon, que tiene originalmente forma de campana y alcanza casi los 100 metros de altura. Se puede dar la vuelta alrededor de la estupa principal para ver las otras estupas más pequeñas. Su estupa dorada es el “corazón” de Myanmar. Se estima que la pagoda tiene 2.500 años de antigüedad y la estupa central esta rodeada por montones de edificios y estatuas curiosamente decoradas. Es uno de los monumentos más espectaculares del mundo. Se disfruta de la puesta de sol en la pagoda. Dentro de esta ciudad colonial, seguimos con la visita de la Pagoda Chauk Htat Gyi, donde se encuentra la imagen de un enorme Buda Reclinado y después completaremos el primer día en Myanmar, con las visitas de la Pagoda Sule, que tiene una historia de 222 años de antigüedad, con la fábrica de Cristal, la cual ha cambiado muy poco con el paso de los años, el Mercado Bogyoke, con cientos de alimentos, ropas, artesanía y gemas, el Parque de Mahabandoola, con su monumento a la independencia y por donde se puede pasear alrededor del centro de la ciudad, el edificio público Karaweik y la Barcaza Real en el Lago. Al atardecer, iremos hacia el embarcadero de Mawtin donde puedes montar en un triciclo a lo largo del rio de Yangon, y visitamos el mítico y antiguo Hotel Strand, construido en 1.896. Por la tarde-noche paseo por China Town y el mercado de fruta. 10 OCT…YANGON / MANDALAY …………….YH 909 - 06:15-07:35..….95$-70€ Mandalay City Hotel (Superior) ………………………………………………………$30 – 22€ Exc. Desde Arpto:Amapura & Mmarapura & Ava & Sagaing….$20 - 15€ Volamos temprano a Mandalay, donde nos están esperando para realizar la visita durante todo el día. Todo empieza con sorpresa. Llega un camión, con dos asientos corridos laterales de madera y donde nos dicen que subamos, sin tiempo a responder, las maletas ya estaban dentro. De camino nos enteramos que la pasada noche han caído fuertes lluvias y hay muchas zonas inundadas. De inmediato lo podemos comprobar, ya que gracias a este tipo de vehiculo, podemos atravesar las encharcadas carreteras y realizar las visitas programadas para el día de hoy. Una vez hemos pasado la zona más complicada, cambiamos de vehículo, y nos juntamos con el guía con el que haremos la visita, a él también le había costado llegar puntual a la cita por el mismo motivo. Después de 45 minutos llegamos a Amarapura, donde visitamos el Monasterio de Mahagandayon, en el que viven y estudian más de mil monjes, y donde tendremos la oportunidad de observar los monjes tomando su última comida del día en silencio absoluto, y con la posibilidad de ayudar en las labores de reparto de estos alimentos. 2 Posteriormente visitaremos el viejo puente de madera de teca de U Bein, de 200 años de antigüedad, construido en el año 1.728, cuando Amarapura era la capital del reino. Continuamos a Ava en barco (10 min), antigua capital Real de Inwa, situada en una isla entre los Ríos Ayeyarwaddy y Myitnge, y donde deberíamos visitar el Monasterio de Maha Aungmte Bonzan, aunque debido a la crecida del río, y al ser necesario cruzar en barco, lo tuvimos que cancelar. Posteriormente nos vamos a Sagaing, y donde próxima a esta ciudad, ascenderemos a las Colinas de Sagaing, y donde visitaremos la Pagoda Khaung Mu Daw, lugar de retiro de los devotos Budistas. Increíble atardecer en las colinas de Sagaing. Finalizada a la visita, ponemos dirección a Mandalay, a 21 Km, donde pondremos fin al día hoy. 11 OCT…MANDALAY / MONYWA Win Unity Hotel (Deluxe-Garden View)………………….……..$45 - 33€ Transfer a Monywa y Visita Pagoda Thanboddhay……..$60 - 44 € Taxi Ht / Jety……………………....$5 Barca…………………………….………...…$1,2 4x4 Jeep Cuevas……………….…..$15 Cena…………………………………….…….$8 Partimos por carretera hacia Monywa. Habíamos contratado este traslado desde España, ya que teníamos mucho interés en visitar de camino la Pagoda Thanboddhay, la estupa central más ricamente decorada con no menos de 845 pequeñas estupas alrededor de ella. Dentro de la pagoda, veremos a cientos de imágenes de Buda (en torno a 500.000), decorando las paredes, arcos y huecos. 6 horas después de la salida, llegamos a Monywa. Por medio del Drtor del Hotel, el cual tenía un perfecto acento inglés, contratamos un taxi para ir a las Cuevas de arenisca de Pho Win Taung, que albergan unas cien estatuas Budistas y murales. Las cuevas se encuentran excavadas en la colina y según los arqueólogos, contienen la mayor exhibición del estilo Innwa, siendo algunas del siglo XIV. Esa tarde fuimos pasando de manos en manos, incluso a día de hoy, no sabemos como realizamos todo el viaje, incluso cómo regresamos al Hotel. Lo resumo: Reservamos un taxi en el hotel, y nos deja y traslada en cinco minutos al embarcadero para cruzar el río Chindwin en un barco local. El chofer nos señala la zona desde donde salen los barcos para cruzar el rio. Una señora nos da los tkts por 1.250 kyat ($1,2) y en otros cinco minutos estamos en la otra orilla. Desembarcamos, pronunciamos el nombre de la Cueva entre un numeroso grupo de personas ociosas, y ya tenemos contratado un jeep por 15.000 kyats ($15), en 45 minutos estamos en las cuevas. Durante el camino el chofer va comiendo bayo, es una semilla preparada, la cual mastican y escupen continuamente, dejando un color rojizo entre los dientes y labios. Al llegar a las cuevas, y sin tiempo para preguntarnos por donde vamos, escuchamos unas palabras sueltas en español, salen de una vendedora de bebidas, e inmediatamente se nos presenta un joven, ofreciéndose como guía en ingles, y lo único que nos pide a cambio es la voluntad, la nuestra fue de 2$. 3 Una vez nos ha mostrado y enseñado la zona de cuevas durante una hora, regresamos al pueblo/embarcadero. Lo llamo así porque es una corta calle sin asfaltar con tiendas y puestos a los lados, que desemboca en el mar. Mezclarse con la gente y vendedores tiene gran atractivo y merece la pena pasar un rato en la zona. Compramos un nuevo billete de regreso directamente al personal de una de las barcas, sin saber todavía cómo, ni dónde, nadie habla inglés, pero en pocos minutos estamos en la otra orilla. Claro, ahora sólo faltaba saber dónde estábamos, y entendernos con un ejército de conductores de coches de caballos y rickshows. Al final, y gracias a una joven que acudió en nuestra ayuda, nos indicó en un básico inglés, por donde podríamos llegar al centro de Monywa. Ahora sólo nos quedaba reservar un coche para desplazarnos al día siguiente a Pakokku, donde tendríamos que embarcar dirección a Bagán. Pasamos por la puerta de un Hotel local, y preguntamos en recepción, pero sin éxito. Por otra parte, un chico al que preguntamos, se ofrece a llevarme en moto a buscar a un amigo suyo que tiene un coche, a lo que acepto sin problema. Antes pasamos por el típico y clásico locutorio local a llamarlo, compuesto por mesa de camping y teléfono de sobremesa años 70, todo bajo un toldo en mitad de la calle. Llamamos y tras pagar por la llamada 100 mkk, (1/10 parte de dólar), me lleva al punto de encuentro carretera arriba. Me pide 70$, y consigo regatear hasta 65$, aunque no me convence, y decido confirmar el que me ofreció la propiedad del Hotel por 80$, me da más confianza y seguridad, y la diferencia no es tanta. Después de toda una tarde de locos, al finalizar la noche, regresamos en un rickshow al hotel por 2$, por poco más de 2 Km de distancia 12 OCT…MONYWA / PAKOKKU / BAGAN Amazing Bagan Resort (Deluxe)……..$90 - 66€ Transfer Monywa /Pakokku…………..$80 - 60€ Barco Pakokku / Bagan……………….……$40 -30€ Calesa Jetty / Hotel………………………..$8 Coche caballos pueblo bicis HT….....$4 Cena……………………………………………………… $9,50 Después de 2 horas de camino, llegamos a Pakokku, visitamos el mercado y nos dirigimos al embarcadero, que todavía a día de hoy, no sabría decir donde se encuentra, pero que gracias al conductor, y a pesar de no hablar palabra de inglés, nos localizó un barco privado.

I thank them all, whether for their direct assistance in matters relating to Burma, for their ability to inspire me, or for simply providing encouragement. I thank my colleagues, past and present, at the National Gallery of Australia and staff at ANU who have also provided support during my thesis candidature, in particular: Ben Divall, Carol Cains, Christine Dixon, Jane Kinsman, Mark Henshaw, Lyn Conybeare, Margaret Brown and Chaitanya Sambrani.

  • Archaeological Conservation of Bagan Ancient Monuments in Myanmar
    Archaeological Conservation of Bagan Ancient Monuments in Myanmar Myo Nyunt Aung Independent Researcher Former Deputy Director (DANM) Abstract Bagan covers an area of about 45 - square kilometers along the eastern bank of the Ayeyarwaddy River. The total numbers of Bagan Buddhist monuments were 4446 in the Bagan period. A number of the monuments at Bagan had been destroyed by natural disasters, vandalism, and age. Now there are 3822 monuments of various sizes still stand- ing in Bagan. Conservation, restoration, renovation and rehabilitation works of the ancient monuments at Bagan in Myanmar with the inscriptional evidences have been undertaken from the Bagan period onwards. Archaeological Conservation works have been started dur- ing the colonial times. Archaeological Conservation on Bagan monuments carried by the Department of Archaeology and National Museum were identified that are consolidation of walls, strengthening with RCC belts, grouting cracks, binding with steel rods, waterproofing on roofs and terraces, inserting tie beams around the terraces, propping inclining walls with temporary steel structures or other materials, pointing, edging and re-plastering, replacement of brick/stone masonry work, improving drainage and landscaping and chemical conservation of the artistic works on ancient monuments. The 2016 earthquake resulted in the removal of many interventions undertaken in 1996-2012. After the earthquake occurred in 2016, it was proved that the monuments which have been repaired and strengthened suffer no structural damage with some slide damage on nonstructural elements. The monuments which have been repaired and partially strengthened suffer structural damage on not strengthened parts. The monuments which have been only repaired generally suffer more damage with some partially collapse.
