The largest city of ancient world

Until 1767, Ayutthaya was considered the largest city in the world. It was an ancient metropolis, where more than a million people lived. Most likely, if it were not for a small but - then now Ayutthaya would be one of the largest cities in the world and would definitely be the capital of Thailand. What happened? There was a raid by Burmese from a neighboring state who came here and simply destroyed the city. The largest city on Earth ceased to exist in just a week. They cut off the heads of all the Buddhas, destroyed what they could and went to their Burma. And now 53,000 people live in Ayutthaya and there are many beautiful ruins. #travel #thailand #ayutthaya #urbanexplorer #mytripvlog
