Pyu Ancient Cities
The Pyu ruins include the remains of three brick-walled, moated cities, Ha Rin, Bektano and Sriksettra, located on vast irrigated lands in the arid zone of the Irrawaddy River. They reflect the prosperity of the Pyu Kingdom for more than 1,000 years between 200 BC and 900 AD. The three cities are partially excavated archaeological sites. The remains include excavated palace castles, cemeteries and manufacturing sites, as well as huge brick pagodas, partially standing walls and water management facilities - some of which are still in use - that underpin organized intensive agriculture.
Pre-Hispanic City and National Park of Palenque
Palenque is an example of a Maya sacred site from the Classic period, which reached its peak between 500 and 700 AD and whose influence spread throughout the Usumacinta River valley. The elegance and craftsmanship of the architecture, as well as the lightness of the reliefs with Maya mythological themes, are testament to the creative genius of this civilization.
