Arniko .... anyone ???
Who he is ?? Where he was from ??
What he made ??

So here we go..
The forgotten architect who built PAGODA building design "ARNIKO"of the 13th century..
In 1260 AD he was invited to china by the emperor KUBLIA KHAN to repair a copper statue of Sung Emperor.. he did finish it, but in a manner which was admired by the emperor and the teacher of the emperor and the most skilled sculptors in china.. He was given a silver plate to wear with an embossed tiger on it which meant the highest recognition in China.

Now it is the 70's : there was a wave of foreigners 😋 Like Jimi Hendrix Bob Marley Cat Stevens for our very own MJ and our purple love..
Bob Seger anyone ??? His song Kathmandu??
