Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 75289, member: 636"] Heritage crews in Bagan hit some ancient pagodas with chemicals to kill off trees and plants that were wrecking the structures, then sealed everything up with grout. The Bagan Heritage Trust teamed up with the Department of Archaeology and National Museum to handle spots like Myinkaba Gubyauk-nge, which has legit murals and a sandstone Buddha carving that ended up in a museum. The cleanup covered multiple temples where banyan trees and weeds had been doing damage. Department experts supervised the whole operation while trust members did the actual work of poisoning the vegetation and patching up the affected areas. [/QUOTE]
