Mingun Pahtodawgyi
Mingun Pahtodawgyi, the remains of a massive unfinished Buddhist stupa begun by King Bodawpaya in 1790, at Mingun, near Mandalay ion the Irrawaddy River (Ayeyerwady). The temple was not completed, due to an astrologer claiming that, once the temple was finished, the king would die. Had the stupa been completed, it would have been the largest in the world at 150 meters. The huge cracks in the structure are from the earthquake of 1838
