Mingun Pahtodawgyi is an ancient unfinished huge stupa, located in the township of Sagaing. The construction began in 1790, under the rule of King Bodawpaya. According to "Wikipedia" - It was not completed, due to an astrologer claiming that, once the temple was finished, the king would die. The completed stupa would have been the largest in the world at 150 metres (490 ft).
