Synopsis

Discover the Lost Empire that Ruled the Bay of Bengal.

For centuries, the history of Southeast Asia has overlooked a giant. Often dismissed as a mere buffer state between the sprawling empires of India and the agrarian kingdoms of the Irrawaddy valley, the Kingdom of Arakan (Rakhine) was, in reality, a formidable maritime power and a thriving crossroads of civilizations.

"Arakan: The Maritime Kingdom" challenges the traditional narratives and reveals the untold story of a wealthy and powerful kingdom that once dominated the waves.

Inside this comprehensive historical survey, you will discover:

  • The Rise of a Maritime Giant: How Arakan leveraged its unique geography to become a major player in global trade.

  • A Crossroads of Civilizations: Explore how diverse cultures, religions, and ideas converged in this dynamic kingdom.

  • Beyond the Buffer State: A compelling argument that reclaims Arakan's rightful place in the geopolitical history of Asia.

  • The Golden Age: Insights into the wealth, power, and architectural marvels of the Mrauk U period.

Whether you are a history enthusiast, a student of Southeast Asian studies, or simply curious about the lost kingdoms of the world, this book offers a fascinating journey into a past that has been obscured for too long.

Rediscover the legacy of the Arakanese Kingdom today.
