Ancient Myanmar

Ancient Myanmar, also known as Burma, was home to powerful kingdoms like Pyu city-states and the Mon, followed by the Pagan Empire, which unified regions through advanced architecture and Buddhism around the 9th to 13th centuries. The society was deeply Buddhist, influencing culture, art, and governance. Over centuries, various dynasties rose and fell, shaping a diverse heritage. Trade, agriculture, and craftsmanship thrived, laying foundations for modern Myanmar’s rich cultural identity. This era set the stage for the country's later history and continues to be significant in understanding Myanmar’s historical and cultural roots.
