Myazedi inscription - Myazedi inscription
The oldest surviving Burmese inscription. It was discovered near the Myazedi Pagoda in Myinkaba village, south of the Bagan ruins in central Myanmar, and is named after the Myazedi Pagoda, which is located in the grounds of the Khubyaukkyi Monastery (built in 1113). There are two stone inscriptions with the same text, one in the Bagan Museum and the other in the pagoda grounds. Both are tetrahedral stone pillars less than 2m high, and each side is inscribed in four languages: Pali, Mon, Burmese, and Pyu, a language that was unknown until Otto Blagden deciphered it in 1911.
