Pahtotawgyi was built by King Bodawpaya in 1819. Pahtotawgyi, was badly damaged by the earthquake during the 1838. If the king had completed the constructions of this Pagoda it would have been the largest in the world. We were told that the king stopped this gigantic project when a monk told him that if he completed this project, he will died!

guess what?? we are going to the top of this unfinished pagoda!!
