Mingun Pahtodawgyi - Myanmar (Burma) #29684304
Description
The Mingun Pahtodawgyi is a monumental uncompleted stupa began by King Bodawpaya in 1790. It was not completed, due to an astrologer claiming that, once the temple was finished, the king would die. The completed stupa would have been the largest in the world at 150 meters. Huge cracks are visible on the structure from an earthquake in 1839.
