Little is known about the people who built this monument because most ideas were spoken and not written down. What are your thoughts on this fascinating site?

I was a volunteer teacher down the road from this Nan Madol. I taught at a boys trade school and the students said the basalt logs were flown from the other side of the island where they are found in this log shape. No other explanation is known, this is the beginning of the research. Living in Micronesia made a huge impact on my life and I am writing a book about it now. The place is beautiful, I hope this attention doesn't ruin it.

That looks like a lot to be discovered! Even with nature taking over, the greens somewhat falls into the right places making the site looks amazing. Hope to see more of this.

I'm from Palau and we have an ancient man's meeting house area on top of the hill. Elders have told me that people brought columns of volcanic rock from the ocean to the top of the hill. One rock was about 200 feet. It's still a mystery but I always like learning about historical sites. The nan madol episode really intrigued me.

Guy is walking through forest, close up of his leg, wide shot showing him and his leg, pull away shot, close up of his leg again. Oh and have him prop his prosthetic leg on this rock while he's talking. Perfect.

Thank you for sharing this. As a fellow amputee, seeing him out in the jungle working is inspirational.
-
Those stones were moved from the other end of the island. I remember all the stories our great grandmother would tell us about the history of Nan Madol and the rule of the Saudelohrs. Alot of superstition and practice of what most will call black magic exists today, probably not as how it used to be. I've seen it with my eyes and it is indeed a breath taking sight to see, although quite far from the US mainland

Thanks to tecnology now archeologits prove civilization history its way larger and complicated and maybe way older than we thougt, they have found giant lost cities in México, Guatemala, Brasil, caribean islands and in many coasts around the world. Its time to open our minds and appreciate how awesome and beautifull creatures we are, and not give all the credit to aliens for everything we can't explain how was build.

A great Documentary about a group of people with fantastic knowledge of Engineering! Not to mention the rough terrain . Such a hard trip for those of us without a disability. Fine job Albert! You’re my hero!
-
I am here after having a fruitful relation with city-state Nan Madol in civ 6. Being the suzerain of such a beautiful city state bears me pleasure, honor, satisfaction and nothing else.
-
I was watching this yester and an expert engineering said it is impossible to make it without modern machinery.. and this is why I believe that the ancient people are way smarter than the expert today.
-
Ancient astronaut theorists say “yes”
-
My friend is from this island. He had told me about these ruins and today, almost by accident, I found this video. Incredible.
-
These ancient buildings are so fascinating. To think there were people like you and me that lived and walked through these places daily almost a thousand years ago... history is so cool
-
Magic? Oh well, at least it's not the aliens again.
-
Makes me wonder what's out there.
-
I'm very happy to see that academia is starting to look into these ancient sites, for which we have no logical explanation, I'm pretty sure that with enough time we can understand the why, although we probably never goin to know the how. It's fine with me as long as the research is kept honest, no matter how weird it seems to get. Best of luck!
-
Makes me glad I'm a geek & able to enjoy the incredible scenery.
-
I'm watching National Geographic right now and the show is Danger Decoded
-
I want to see more of this ancient place
