Description

Mandalay a été fondé par le roi Mindon 1852. Le palais royal était une véritable cité impériale de presque 4 kms de côté, établit au centre du campus royal protégé par une immense muraille en brique Durant la II Guerre Mondiale, la ville tomba aux mains des Japonais (de 1942 à 1945) et le fort fut utilisé comme entrepôt. Quand il fut bombardé par les Britanniques, le palais royal, qui était en bois, partit en fumée. Il n´est rien resté Aujourd´hui il existe un seul témoignage de ce que devrait être la fabuleuse Cité Impéraile Une chambre totalement en teck scupté était une des merveilles du Palais jusqu'à la mort de la reine Setkyadevî Le roi Thibaw son fils (dernier roi de Mandalay, de 1878 à 1885), refusant d'y vivre, le fit démonter, transporter hors de l'enceinte du fort et transformer en monastère (ce qui lui évita la destruction). Tout ce qui reste des fastes et merveilles de la dynastiie de Manday est aujourd´hui le Monastère de Shwenandaw Consideré maudit par les rois, il fut le seul à échaper á la destruction Mandalay was rested by the king Mindon 1852. The Royal Palace was a true imperial city from almost 4 kms on side, establishes in the center of the royal campus protected by an immense brick wall During the II World War, the city fell to the hands from the Japanese (from 1942 to 1945) and the fort was used as warehouse. When it was bombarded by the British, the royal palace, which was out of wood, left in smoke. It is nothing remained Today there is only one testimony of what should be fabulous Imperial City Cité a scupté completely in teak room was one of the wonders of the Palate until the death of the queen Setkyadevî king Thibaw his son (last king de Mandalay, of 1878 to 1885), refusing to live there, made it dismount, transport out of the enclosure of the fort and transform into monastery (what avoided the destruction to him). All that remains of wonders of the dynastiie of Manday is today the Monastery of Shwenandaw Considerated which cursed by the kings, it was the only one with was saved of the destruction

Ahh! A widely travelled woman. I will visit Burma in spring 08, and to judge from this image I very much want to see some of its architechtural heritage. Beautifully captured.

Surviving the test is the only risk in a concept of good and evil. The curse has no substance. It misinforms. " Say not rakkah, curse no one."

Mandalay est un nom qui m'a toujours fait rêver, et la beauté de cette partie du lieu, avec ton commentaire détaillé n'a pas détruit le rêve bien au contraire ! Excellente photo, Rosely !

I agree both with leifwestlund's comment about the best History teacher and with Jocko500's comment regarding National Geographic. It is my belief that you belong on National Geographics payroll, top pay as well. You really research your subject and then display your image with a narrative in two languages. I applaud you Mousson, you are inspirational in what you do. I salute you! Bravo!!!!!
