ARAKAN STATE, MYANMAR—Narinjara News reports that a stone engraved with 44 sentences of text was unearthed at a pagoda located near the western coast of Myanmar. U Nyein Lwin, director of the local archaeological department, said that that almost half of the sentences on the stone are illegible because the stone was damaged on one side. The text is thought to date to the Mrauk Oo period, which dates from around 1430 to 1785, and will be translated. For more on Myanmar, go to "Earthquake Strikes Bagan Archaeological Zone."
