An ancient temple structure carved into the side of a towering red stone cliff. The temple features intricate architectural details, including ornate arches, carvings, and a grand central entrance framed by an elaborately carved façade. A lone human figure stands silhouetted in the entrance, providing a sense of scale to the massive structure. The temple blends seamlessly into the natural rock formations surrounding it, with foliage clinging to the cliffside and adding touches of green. The image evokes a sense of awe and reverence for the architectural and cultural achievements of past civilizations.

Unfinished Mingun Temple in Myanmar

The Mingun temple is a monumental uncompleted stupa began by King Bodawpaya in 1790. It was not completed, due to an astrologer claiming that if the temple was finished the king would die. The completed stupa would have been the largest in the world at 150 metres (490 ft). Huge cracks are visible on the structure from the earthquake of 1839. 🇲🇲
