Binnaka

Binnaka (ဘိန္နက [bèɪɰ̃nəka̰], also spelt Beinnaka) is an archaeological site located in present-day Pyawbwe Township, Myanmar.

Binnaka is located in Pyawbwe Township, Myanmar, near the railway line between Yangon and Mandalay.

[2]: 25  What Maung Maung Tin's team found included "a large masonry slab" that may have originally been a temple's plinth or the foundation of city walls, several terracotta tablets and a brick fragment that all had what appeared to be the Pyu script written on them, burial urns and pottery, coins, and various other objects.

[1]: 16–7  The building, pottery, coins, and writing are all very similar to examples found at other "Pyu" sites such as Beikthano and Maingmaw.

The chronicles mentions Binnaka and Maingmaw and states that the ruler of Binnaka was responsible for the fall of Tagaung, the city identified by the chronicles as the original home of Burmese speakers.
