Street leading towards the Shwedagon Pagoda, Rangoon, Burma, late 19th or early 20th century. Buddhist tradition holds that the Shwedagon Pagoda was built before the Buddha died in 486 BC, but archaeologists believe its construction is more likely to date from between the 6th and 10th century. The pagoda is the most sacred site for Burmese Buddhists. Lantern slide.
