Sad photos from inside Burma --

Look at as many as you can bear to look at.

As the late historian, Dr. Than Htun said, "none of the temples are authentic from the ground floor up."

They are badly "renovated" and I'm told it's all a scam to loot the treasures and artifacts inside.

Government sells off temples for "renovation."

As we say in Burmese, the leak starts from the roof, corruption from the very top.
