KIACKIACK
Myanmar Destruction God
Also known as Kiack, Kiak-Kiak, Kiakiack
The Snoozing God of Gods
He has gone to sleep for six thousand years. When he wakes up, the end of the world will come.
What we don’t know is when he went to sleep. He has dozed his way out of our references and internet searches reveal only Malaysian black ants and a number of radio stations.
According to dear old Brewer’s Dictionary and several slightly baffling Victorian travelogs, Kiackiack is idolized in Bago (formerly Pegu) in Myanmar. Which is famous for its huge sleeping Buddha statue, the Shwethalyaung Reclining Buddha. Coincidence?
Meanwhile, his name sounds very similar to the Kyaikkhauk Pagoda, also in Myanmar. Could one of these be the mysterious Kiackiack? We will have to sleep on it.
