Bagan's most important king was Anawrahta. According to the Myanmarese chronicles, he died under suspicious circumstances, and contemporary Burmese writers surmise he was assassinated. But why, and by whom? The answers are tepid and unconvincing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe book teases out a possible culprit who is overlooked today for long-standing cultural and religious reasons. The process of examining the evidence involves two journeys. One is through time—a rough chronology of the important kings and the racey gossip the chronicles tell about them. The second is physical—walking through ten different temples, each representing a theme in Bagan's history, and using this to unpack what the legacy of Anawrahta was.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Penguin Random House NZ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47995672133868,"sku":"9789814882965","price":28.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9789814882965-who-killed-the-king-of-bagan.jpg?v=1784899246"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/jame-dibiasio.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
