…is actually an incomplete giant stupa:

Though the Mingun Pahtodawgyi only reached one third of its originally intended height of 150 meters and it’s been damaged by an earthquake, it’s still the worlds’s largest pile of bricks.

This elephant is actually a lion. The head fell off in an earthquake.

Also, the same king who started the abortive stupa and the now head-less lion also had this giant bell made that while not the largest overall was the largest that could actually be rung from 1810 to 2000.
