UNESCO has offered to assist in drafting a master plan for the up-keeping and administering of the Bagan historical park in line with international starndards, sources say.
The government is planned to get Bagan, which has over 3,000 ancient buildings built between 1,000 AD and 1,400 AD, into a world heritage list. Moreover, the government is also planning to transform Bagan into historical park, according to announcement from Department of Archaeology, National Museum and Library under Ministry of Culture.
“The ministry will transform Bagan into historical park. The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) will provide assistance for Master Plan but we haven’t started the plan yet,” an official from representative of UNESCO in Myanmar said.
The UNESCO has helped to preserve ancient heritage in Began until about two decades ago. Now it was helping to list Halin, Beikthano and Sri Ksetra, the three ancient Pyu towns and Bagan in World Heritage list.
