Pyu (Burmese: 
, IPA [pjù]; also known as Pyuu, Pyus, or in Chinese records as Piao) was a collection of city-states found in the central and northern parts of modern-day Burma from about 100 BC to 832 CE.
History
The Pyu people arrived in Burma during about 100 BC, believably 94 AD, where they established the city kingdoms of Binnaka, Mongamo, Sri Ksetra, Peikthanomyo, Kutkhaing, Halin gyi Thanlwin, Thandwe, and Yoma. During the 7th century, possibly in 656, Pyu migrated its capital north, and abandoning the old capital. The exact location of the new capital is unknown, but it is known, based on records, that it was sacked by the Kingdom of Nanzhou during 832, ending Pyu's period of dominance.
