This is one of favorite archaeological site in Historical sites of Myanmar. In Hpa-an area or Kayin state have many many Buddhist Cultural caves. But the dating is 15 to 18 century AD around. Kawgun cave is also 15-16 century AD and we can see numerous Buddhist Terracotta (votive tablets)and images in there. Some are made with gold and decorated by painting (use red, yellow ocher and green). Myanmar Archaeological Department were have the large conservation and protection project in 2000. I thinks a cement factory production is really big problem for ancient relics. I have been 4 times there. This is one of favorite archaeological site in Historical sites of Myanmar.

One hope from the tragic cyclone may be that outside help can open up the country to the world and encourage cultural respect. Myanmar facts It’s sad to hear of such ignorant destruction.
