Beikthano (Burmese: ဗိဿနိုး [beɪʔθənó]) situated in the irrigated Minbu region (near present-day Taungdwingyi)   with direct land access to the well-watered Kyaukse plains to its   northeast, is the oldest urban site so far discovered and scientifically   excavated site. Its remains—the structures, pottery, artefacts, and   human skeletons—date from 200 BCE to 100 CE. Named after the Hindu god Vishnu,   the city may be the first capital of a culturally and perhaps even   politically uniform state in the history of Burma. It was a large   fortified settlement, measuring approximately 300 hectares inside the   rectangular (3 km by 1 km) walls. The walls and fortifications along it   measured six meters thick, and are radiocarbon dated to a period between   180 BCE and 610 CE. Like most subsequent cities, the main entrance of   the walls led to the palace, which faced east. Stupas and monastic   buildings have also been excavated within the city walls.

The Pyu city states (Burmese: ပျူ မြို့ပြ နိုင်ငံများ) were a group of city-states that existed from c. 2nd century BCE to c. mid-11th century in present-day Upper Burma (Myanmar). The city-states were founded as part of the southward migration by the Tibeto-Burman-speaking Pyu people, the earliest inhabitants of Burma of whom records are extant. The thousand-year period, often referred to as the Pyu millennium, linked the Bronze Age to the beginning of the classical states period when the Pagan Kingdom emerged in the late 9th century.

The city-states—five major walled cities and several smaller towns   have been excavated—were all located in the three main irrigated regions   of Upper Burma: the Mu River Valley, the Kyaukse plains and Minbu region, around the confluence of the Irrawaddy and Chindwin Rivers. Part of an overland trade route between China and India, the Pyu realm gradually expanded south. Halin,   founded in the 1st century AD at the northern edge of Upper Burma, was   the largest and most important city until around the 7th or 8th century   when it was superseded by Sri Ksetra (near modern Pyay) at the southern edge. Twice as large as Halin, Sri Ksetra was the largest and most influential Pyu centre.

The Pyu culture was heavily influenced by trade with India, importing Buddhism as well as other cultural, architectural and political concepts, which would have an enduring influence on the Culture of Burma and political organisation. The Pyu calendar, based on the Buddhist calendar, later became the Burmese calendar. Recent scholarship, though yet not settled, suggests that the Pyu script, based on the Indian Brahmi script, may have been the source of the Burmese script used to write the Burmese language.

The millennium-old civilisation came crashing down in the 9th century   when the city-states were destroyed by repeated invasions from the Kingdom of Nanzhao. The Bamar people, who came from Nanzhao, set up a garrison town at Bagan at the confluence of the Irrawaddy and Chindwin Rivers. Pyu settlements   remained in Upper Burma for the next three centuries but the Pyu   gradually were absorbed into the expanding Pagan Kingdom. The Pyu language still existed until the late 12th century. By the 13th century, the Pyu   had assumed the Burman ethnicity. The histories and legends of the Pyu   were also incorporated to those of the Bamar.

Only the city-states of Halin, Beikthano and Sri Ksetra are designated as UNESCO World Heritage Sites, where the other sites can be added in the future for an extension nomination.
