Bagan Earthquake Spelling Quiz: Find 20 Spelling Mistakes

Solution:

Translation:
Due to the 6.8 magnitude earthquake in August 2016, more than 400 ancient stupas of the old capital Bagan in Myanmar collapsed and got damaged. Bagan temples encountered this damaging earthquake while the current government, with the help and support of UNESCO, was attempting to attain World Heritage Site status for the site of Bagan which is full of temples and stupas with great historical and cultural values.
At present, the government is collaborating with responsible personnel and experts in the restoration work of Bagan’s architecture practising systematic measures while conserving traditional norms. We should reflect on and take a lesson from how the renovations of the Bagan ancient temples during the era of the military regime happened to damage the structures more due to the wrong techniques they applied without consulting and cooperating with the experts and without taking the values of ancient art works into consideration either.
