history channel documentary hd The 'Lion's Room' was encompassed by the lord's chambers, a watchtower and various fundamental and auxiliary structures. The design of the castle and its building outfits can be seen from an 'extensive scale model' of the first 'Mandalay Palace' within the palace.Nowadays, next to no is left of the transcendence of the old royal residence (or what was left of it). Well into the 1990s the previous royal residence compound served as the home office of the Burmese Army. Aside from a) the 8 meters/26 ft high and at the last 3 meters/9.8 ft thick royal residence's block dividers (each of its four locales is 2 kilometers/1.3 miles in length) with its 'Pyatthats'(pavilions) over the doors, b) the 70 meters/225 feet wide and more than 3 meters/10 ft profound channel that stayed in place can be seen just c) the King Mindon catacomb, d) the a.m. 'royal residence model', e) a vacant raised stage - the remaining parts of the King's quarters - up to which lead stairs with guns (that have never discharged a solitary shot) at their foot and f) a couple in low quality and with constrained work remade castle structures inside the old royal residence dividers.

They got to be to a generally little measure casualty of the shelling of the royal residence and the Mandalay slope both of which had been transformed into fortresses and were wildly guarded by Japanese troops in 1944/45.However, the fundamental harm was finished by the Japanese who, when the show was over for them, smoldered the greater part of the wooden structures down to annihilate the stores they had in them and to leave nothing that could be of any utilization to their adversary.
