From the 9th  to 13th centuries, the city was the capital of the Kingdom of Pagan, and  the political, economic and cultural nerve center of the Pagan Empire.  During the kingdom's height between the 11th and 13th centuries, the  wealthy Pagan rulers commissioned thousands of temples to be built in  the Bagan plains. It is estimated that over 10,000 Buddhist temples,  pagodas and monasteries once stood on this 100 square km plain in  central Myanmar, of which the remains of over 2200 temples and pagodas  still survive to the present day.   Bagan became a central powerbase in the mid 9th century under King  Anawratha, who unified Burma under Theravada Buddhism. Over the course  of 250 years, Bagan's rulers and their wealthy subjects constructed over  10,000 religious monuments in the Bagan plains. The prosperous city  grew in size and grandeur, and became a cosmopolitan center for  religious and secular studies. Monks and scholars from as far as India,  Ceylon as well as the Khmer Empire came to Bagan to study prosody,  phonology, grammar, astrology, alchemy, medicine, and law <img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-tDPOUfhpbdY/UYukC43Y_rI/AAAAAAABILA/kRfE1TfDW3c/s1600/Gagan+Temple+Complex+in+Burma+002.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> </blockquote>
