Pyu city-states
The Pyu city-states were a group of independent city-states established in what is now Myanmar. The Pyu civilisation stretched over a millennium from 2nd century BCE to the mid-11th century and marked the beginning of Burmese recorded history.
UnderstandThe Pyu had migrated to the Irrawaddy Delta by the 2nd century BCE. This region was part of the overland trade route between India and China and was consequently influenced by both of its neighbouring civilisations.
Ancient citiesThree of the walled and fortified Pyu cities have been extensively excavated and since 2014 have been recognised as UNESCO World Heritages Sites.
