February 14, 2018

The largest human image of Myanmar, organized by Telenor Myanmar at the sports grounds in Magway on 12 February 2018 was recorded in the 2018 Guinness World Records.

The image of Myanmar measuring 234ft in length and 106 ft in width in the space of 24,804 sq ft was shaped by 3,466 people including students. It became the first ever mass gathering to create an image of a country or a continent to break the Guinness World Records title in Myanmar.

“The reason why we chose Magway to shape the image of Myanmar is that Natmauk Town, is the birthplace of Myanmar’s independence hero General Aung San. The event was held to mark the 71st anniversary of Union Day,” said an official from Telenor Myanmar Co, Ltd. In September 2016, 811 people teamed up to create image of the Africa continent, setting a Guinness World Records title.

There are other recipients of Guinness World Record titles in Myanmar such as Mingun Sayadaw U Vicittasarabivamsa, a record holder in the human memory category, the largest sapphire in the world, the heaviest bell in the world called Mingun Bell and the people with the longest necks.
