루완웰리세야 스투파(Ruwanveli Seya Stupa)는 아누라다푸라 도시의 위대한 살아 있는 고대 기념물 중 가장 뛰어난 것으로, 스리랑카 싱할 불교 유산의 정수를 보여주는 유서 깊은 구조물이며, 유네스코 세계문화유산에 등재되어 있습니다. 이 스투파는 기원전 161–137년에 두투가무누 왕에 의해 건립되었으며, 고대부터 현대까지 수많은 영웅을 배출한 루후나 지역 출신의 국가적 영웅이었습니다. 루완웰리세야 스투파(Ruwanveli Seya Stupa)는 ‘마하 스투파’(싱할라어: 위대한 다고바) 또는 ‘라트나팔리 스투파’, ‘스와르나말리 스투파’로도 알려져 있으며, 스리랑카의 모든 고대 다고바 가운데 가장 숭배되고 존경받는 성스러운 구조물입니다. 아누라다푸라에는 말와투 오야 강과 두 개의 대규모 고대 인공 관개 저수지인 티사 웨와와 아바야 웨와(바사왁쿨라마 웨와) 사이에 수많은 역사적 문화 유적이 분포합니다. 이 두 저수지는 말와투 오야 강 동쪽의 고대 누와라 웨와 저수지와 함께 아누라다푸라 지역의 농업과 생계를 유지하는 중요한 생명줄 역할을 합니다.

아누라다푸라 남쪽 무너진 성벽 아래에 모여 있는 세 개의 주요 고대 스투파 — 루완웰리세야 스투파, 미리사웨티야 다고바, 제타와나라마야 스투파 — 는 오리온자리의 일곱 별 중 세 별인 리겔(Rigel), 민타카(Mintaka), 벨라트릭스(Bellatrix)의 천체 배열과 완벽하게 일치합니다. 이 별들은 고대 이집트인들(기원전 3150년, 전통적 이집트 연대기)이 부활과 사후세계의 태양신 오시리스와 관련지었던 별들입니다.

스리랑카의 아누라다푸라(저중력 이상: –104m 지오이드)는 북인도 보드가야보다 훨씬 남쪽에 위치하지만, 서쪽으로 불과 3.5도 떨어져 있습니다. 보드가야는 고타마 붓다가 최상의 깨달음을 얻은 장소로, 불교 우주론에서는 ‘파타비 나비’(산스크리트어: 지구의 배꼽)로 여겨집니다. 보드가야의 반대편 지점 — 즉 지구 중심을 관통하는 축으로 연결되는 곳 — 은 마야 문명의 태양 사원(‘우주의 배꼽’)이며, 이는 유네스코 세계유산으로 지정된 쿠스코(케추아어: 우주의 배꼽), 마추픽추라는 잃어버린 도시 근처에 위치합니다.

루완웰리세야 스투파(Ruwanveli Seya Stupa)를 둘러싼 이러한 설명하기 어려운 우주적·지리적 신비 외에도, 루완웰리세야와 미리사웨티야의 건축 위치가 매우 특별한 상황에 의해 결정되었다는 사실이 있습니다. 그리고 여전히 더욱 놀라운 세부 사항들이 존재합니다…
