Dhammayangyi Temple in Bagan, Myanmar (緬甸)

Dhammayangyi Temple 寺廟名稱的由來卻有著一段淒涼的故事…

據說在那拉圖國王時期，國勢強盛，超越其父、祖父輩，所以印度一直久攻不進。但可惜的是那拉圖國王(King Narathu)太自傲，竟然不帶侍衛前來此佛塔，被潛伏在此地多年已融入緬甸生活的印度間諜刺殺身亡。所以達瑪揚基佛塔的意思就是「不帶侍衛來的塔」。

It's a Buddhist temple located in Bagan, Myanmar. Largest of all the temples in Bagan, the Dhammayan as it is popularly known was built during the reign of King Narathu : 167  (1167-1170). Narathu, who came to the throne by assassinating his father Alaungsithu and his elder brother, presumably built this largest temple to atone for his sins.

The Dhammayangyi is the widest temple in Bagan, and is built in a plan similar to that of Ananda Temple. Burmese chronicles state that while the construction of the temple was in the process, the king was assassinated by some Indians and thus the temple was not completed. Sinhalese sources however indicate that the king was killed by Sinhalese invaders.

The temple's interior is bricked up for unknown reasons, thus only the four porches and the outer corridors are accessible.

Yesterday I had a meeting with a leather manufacturer I have worked with for many years and he told me that he and his friends are going to Myanmar this week. Wish him a happy and safe journey! ◠‿◠ Lan~*

The recent suggestion for Destoroyah and Bagan existing only as different route exclusives gave me an idea on how to make the the “Balkzardan and Jyarumu are the two halves of Bagan’s soul” idea work with this.

Basically Bagan was the first Destroyer Titan. He was meant to be the embodiment of the balance required to keep the planet stable, harnessing both light and dark to act as a stabilizer via destruction. Think of it like how wildfires tend to help revitalize forests. This, predictably, didn’t go well. He rampaged across the planet, destroying wantonly for pleasure. The other titans of the time fought a long and fierce battle to contain the mad destroyer. Eventually he was sealed away deep beneath the land that would one day be known as China. His soul was split from his body and torn in two, creating the twins of the light and dark. His body, preserved but soulless, withered within the temple he had been sealed in. It wasn’t until one of the Makers, the soul survivor of Ghidorah’s rampage across the cosmos, made their way to earth. Collecting the DNA of Ghidorah and Godzilla, it used the genetic material of both the false and true kings to revitalize Bagan’s body. But his soul would need to be reconstructed. Using a variant of the ORCA, they lured the twins to a climatic fight. Sensing something wrong, the other titans of the planet coalesced at the same site, but despite numerous valiant attempts, were unable to stop the twins from mutually slaying each other, freeing Bagan’s soul to reenter his restored and now even more powerful body. The reborn Bagan views himself as a “son” of Godzilla and Ghidorah, using the fact that the combination of their DNA allows him to be much stronger than he was even before his sealing away as a way to taunt the King of the Monsters.

Just something I thought up with cause I love the ideas others are having with stuff such as Battra and building upon others, so I thought I’d build upon that one ask about Bagan and his coexistence role.

Seems that sole survivor learned precisely nothing about what happened the last time his species tried playing god, which is all too appropriate for AbraxasVerse villains!
