The Shwedagon Pagoda of Yangon, Burma, is a Buddhist site of prayer and pilgrimage built in a vague time around the 6th Century - a period in which Buddhism had swept many Asian regions. In grand fashion, the ‘Golden Pagoda’ was augmented in 1484 by a bronze bell - the ‘Great Bell of Dhammazedi’, and allegedly one of the largest bells ever made in history.

In the 17th Century some Portuguese jerkoff, Filipe de Brito, integrated into Syriam within his aptitude as an adventurer, declared Portuguese independence and took the Bell to melt the bronze for cannons. Fortunately, the bell was too heavy to carry across the Yangon River, and it sank - a recapture of the Syriam region also saw de Brito’s impalement as a result of his monumental defilement.
