The
Zamani Project from the
University of Cape Town, South Africa, offered its services towards the spatial documentation of monuments in Bagan in response to the destruction of monuments by an
earthquake in August 2016. After reconnaissance visit to Bagan and a subsequent meeting at the UNESCO offices in Bangkok in February 2017, the Zamani Project documented the Sula-mani-gu-hpaya (Sulamani) Temple, during a field campaign in March 2017. During another 2 field campaigns between 2017 and 2018, the Zamani Project spatially documented further 11 monuments in Bagan, including Kyauk-ku-umin (154); Kubyauk-gyi (
Gubyaukgyi) (298), Tha-peik-hmauk-gu-hpaya (744); Monument 1053; Sein-nyet-ama (1085); Sein-nyet-nyima (1086); Naga-yon-hpaya (1192); Loka-ok-shaung (1467); Than-daw-kya (1592); Ananda Monastery; and the City Gate of old Bagan (
Tharabha Gate). Textured 3D models, panorama tours, elevations, sections and plans of some of those structures are available on www.zamaniproject.org. ==References==
