  • Title Around the Sagaing Township in Kon-Baung Period All Authors Moe
    Title Around the Sagaing Township in Kon-baung Period All Authors Moe Moe Oo Publication Type Local Publication Publisher (Journal name, Myanmar Historical Research Journal, No-21 issue no., page no etc.) Sagaing Division was inhabited by Stone Age people. Sagaing town was a place where the successive kings of Pagan, Innwa and Kon-baungs period constructed religious buildings. Hence it can be regarded as an important place not only for military matters, but also for the administration of the kingdom. Moreover, a considerable number of foreigners were Siamese, Yuns and Manipuris also settled in Sagaing township. Its population was higher than that of Innwa and Abstract lower than that of Amarapura. Therefore, it can be regarded as a medium size town. Agriculture has been the backbone of Sagaing township’s economy since the Pagan period. The Sagaing must have been prosperous but the deeds of land and other mortgages highlight the economic difficulties of the area. It is learnt from the documents concerning legal cases that arose in this area. As Sagaing was famous for its silverware industry, silk-weaving and pottery, it can be concluded that the cultural status was high. Keywords Historical site, military forces, economic aspect, cultural heigh Citation Issue Date 2011 Myanmar Historical Research Journal, No-21, June 2011 149 Around the Sagaing Township in Kon-baung Period By Dr. Moe Moe Oo1 Background History Sagaing Division comprises the tracts between Ayeyarwady and Chindwin rivers, and the earliest fossil remains and remains of Myanmar’s prehistoric culture have been discovered there. A fossilized mandible of a primate was discovered in April 1978 from the Pondaung Formation, a mile to the northwest of Mogaung village, Pale township, Sagaing township.

  • Sputum Smear-Positive Case
    Report on National TB Prevalence Survey 2009-2010 Acknowledgements The National Tuberculosis Prevalence Survey 2009-2010 for Myanmar was conducted by the National Tuberculosis Programme (NTP), Department of Health (DOH), Ministry of Health (MOH), the Union of Myanmar with the technical support from the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Research Institute of Tuberculosis/Japan Anti-Tuberculosis Association (RIT/JATA). Financial, human resources and technical support for the survey were provided by the MOH, WHO, Three Diseases Fund, Japan International Cooperation Agency, RIT/JATA, Population Services International and the United States Agency for International Development (see Annex 1). For data collection, NTP coordinated with state, regional, district and township health authorities. Local laboratory technicians and Basic Health Staff worked closely with the survey teams. The contribution of the Myanmar Health Assistant Association was also of great value in completing data collection, data cleaning and data entry. In addition, volunteers, local authorities and local communities participated and made great contributions to the survey. The NTP is most grateful to MOH for its guidance and approval of this survey and for the continual encouragement which enabled NTP to complete the survey during a challenging period. We express our deep thanks and appreciation to all organizations and individuals for their contribution in making this survey successful. We record our special thanks to Dr Hans H. Kluge from WHO for his strong support for this survey, and to Dr Ikushi Onozaki of WHO and Dr Norio Yamada of RIT/JATA for their tremendous contributions. It is our hope both that the survey’s findings reflect our country’s actual disease burden, and also that it will lead to constructive changes in future plans to control tuberculosis in Myanmar.

  • Buddhism in the Late Konbaung Period(1819-1885)
    BUDDHISM IN THE LATE KONBAUNG PERIOD(1819-1885) PhD DISSERTATION KO KO NAING DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY UNIVERSITY OF MANDALAY MYANMAR JUNE, 2010 BUDDHISM IN THE LATE KONBAUNG PERIOD(1819-1885) University of Mandalay BUDDHISM IN THE LATE KONBAUNG PERIOD(1819-1885) A Dissertation Submitted to the University of Mandalay In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in History Department of History Ko Ko Naing 4 PhD(R)-Hist-22 Mandalay, Myanmar June, 2010 ABSTRACT This paper is an analysis of Buddhism in the late Konbaung Period. How Buddhism was introduced into Myanmar is discussed. How the Myanmars professed a mixture of Buddhism and their traditional beliefs is explained. Among the seven kings who supported the Religion in Myanmar, two—Kings Badon and Mindon—reigned in the late Konbaung Period. King Badon’s personal views and progressive ideas concerning the Religion are touched upon. How the kings purified the Religion partly to facilitate their rule is discussed. The monks formed separate sects in the late Konbaung period even though they did not differ from one another in robes, literature, doctrine or goal. However, the kings’ support was important for a sect to stand on its own. In the late Konbaung Period, the Fifth Buddhist Synod, which was the first Buddhist Synod held in Myanmar, was convened. That the Buddhist synod convened by King Mindon was not necessary for the Religion and that he convened it only to defy the British who had annexed Lower Myanmar and to assume the title Pyinsama Thangayanatin Mintaya (the Convener of the Fifth Buddhist Synod) are discussed.

  • Nyaung-Gan: a Preliminary Note on a Bronze Age Cemetery Near Mandalay) Myanmar (Burma)
    Nyaung-gan: A Preliminary Note on a Bronze Age Cemetery near Mandalay) Myanmar (Burma) ELIZABETH MOORE AND PAUK PAUK THERE IS NO DATED BRONZE AGE material from Myanmar and the distribution of Bronze Age sites remains virtually unexplored. Even nonprovenienced bronze tools are rare in comparison to the abundance of lithic material (Morris 1938). Given the country's wealth of nonferrous ore deposits, a long sequence ofprehis­ toric metallurgy is a reasonable expectation. InJanuary and February 1998, the Department ofArchaeology, Ministry ofCul­ ture, carried out preliminary excavations south of Nyaung-gan Village, 120 km northwest of Mandalay. Four pits yielded a series of inhumation burials. Ceramic vessels comprised the predominant grave goods, and some large pots were possi­ bly secondary burial urns. Bronze tools but not ornaments were found on some ofthe skeletons. Freshwater shells were also present. Stone artifacts included rings, beads, and tools. No iron was recovered, although six lead rolls were among the surface finds. The site, in the country's arid zone, is located on the edge of a crater, one of a line of volcanoes spanning the Chindwin River. The area, traditionally known as Tampadipa or "land of copper" has abundant copper deposits. The Nyaung-gan cemetery is presented here as a Bronze Age site, and the finds are discussed in relation to material from both earlier and later periods. The bronze, stone, and ceramic goods from Nyaung-gan provide provenienced and typologically spe­ cific assemblages to begin to inform us about the mortuary culture ofBronze Age Myanmar. THE SITE AND ITS SETTING The Nyaung-gan cemetery site lies 107 m above sea level at 95°04'E, 22°24'N (Fig.
