In the centre of the dry zone, in a region the elders called “torrid, ” Pagan—a city of legend and mystery and the birthplace of Burmese civilization—experienced its Golden Age in the 17th century. Founded circa A.D. 849, the capital of the First Burmese Empire (from the 11th to the 13th century) occupied a key position at the crossroads of the major roadways and trade routes that linked the Indian, Chinese and Malayan worlds. A mercantile, military and religious town, the royal city stretched a dozen kilometres from the eastern shore of the Irrawaddy River. After the Empire’s founder, Anoratha (1044–1077), adopted Theravada Buddhism, centuries of constantly renewed religious fervour left their imprint on the landscape in the form of incomparable sacred architectural treasures dotting the Pagan Plain. Even today, a crop of gilded stupas, temples decorated with stuccowork and murals, monasteries and sundry structures still testify to the religious zeal which inspired the builders of this medieval city. Close to 3,000 monuments are scattered throughout the 42 square kilometre archaeological zone and beyond, still paying tribute to the Empire’s past glory. But historians continue to be puzzled by the countless mysteries surrounding the city’s origins, its economic system, and the daily life of its inhabitants during its Golden Age.Guy Lubeigt, who holds a docteur d’Etat diploma and is a graduate of the Institut National des Langues et Civilisations Orientales, is a Senior Research Fellow at the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique. As the former director of Rangoon’s Alliance Française and Cultural Attaché with Myanmar’s French Embassy, he is first and foremost a “field” researcher. He is a member of the Ecole doctorale de géographie de Paris-Sorbonne, a PRODIG Laboratory representative in Myanmar and Tahiland and also teaches at Chulalongkorn University in Bangkok.
