A stupa started 1,790 by King Bodawpaya in Mungun, central Myanmar, with ambition to be as tall as 150 meters if completed only it was not, due to a prophecy from an astrologer during the king’s time which suggests his death upon the completion of the stupa.
Today, the visitor’s stand in front of the structure can still fell its grandness, although a strong quake on March 23, 1839 left a huge crack, which adds certain appeal to it.
