Nan Madol - the mysterious and ancient city of Pohnpei - FSM - Ep. 52 Hilma Sailing
Our first stop at the Federated States of Micronesia (FSM) was on the island Pohnpei.
We walked the jungles, visited waterfalls and explored the interesting and mythical ancient city Nan Madol. We also built our own new whisker pole, out of bamboo.

Nan Madol in Pohnpei, Micronesia
Nan Madol is an archaeological site adjacent to the eastern shore of the island of Pohnpei, now part of the Madolenihmw district of Pohnpei state in the Federated States of Micronesia in the western Pacific Ocean. Nan Madol was the capital of the Saudeleur Dynasty until about 1628. The city, constructed in a lagoon, consists of a series of small artificial islands linked by a network of canals. The site core with its stone walls encloses an area approximately 1.5 km long by 0.5 km wide and it contains nearly 100 artificial islets—stone and coral fill platforms—bordered by tidal canals.
The name Nan Madol means spaces between and is a reference to the canals that crisscross the ruins. The original name was Soun Nan-leng (Reef of Heaven), according to Gene Ashby in his book Pohnpei, An Island Argosy. The ruined city is one of today's great archaeological enigmas and is sometimes called Atlantis, the eighth wonder of the world, or the Venice of the Pacific.

Nan Madol: Pohnpei Island Tour Part 1 (first time to see sakau plant) Federated States of Micronesia
Declared as a UNESCO World heritage site on July 15, 2016, the mysterious ruins of Nan Madol dates back roughly to the year 1180. It was the home of the paramount chief or nahnmwarki for generations, but the city was deserted by the mid-1800s.

Nan Madol from the sky
Several people requested this video of a flight over Nan Madol. Due to the strong winds coming off the ocean, this video has a good bit of vibration.
I also threw in a few clips from Kepirohi Waterfall.

Nan Madol
Souvent baptisé « la Venise du Pacifique » Nan Madol est un site en ruines qui se trouve en Micronésie. Il est constitué d'une série de mystérieux îlots artificiels ... est-ce les vestiges de l'hypothétique Lémurie antique ?...
Mégalithes Inexpliqués du Pacifique - Nan Madol et ses millions de blocs !
Nan Madol est un site en ruines qui se trouve dans la partie sud-est de l'île de Pohnpei (actuellement l'un des quatre États fédérés de Micronésie). Le site est constitué d'une série d'îlots artificiels qui furent la capitale de la dynastie Saudeleur. Le nom de « Nan Madol », qui signifie « intervalles » en pohnpeien, fait référence aux canaux présents sur le site. Celui-ci est souvent baptisé « la Venise du Pacifique ».
Aujourd'hui, Nan Madol constitue une zone architecturale couvrant plus de 18 km2 et comprend l'architecture de pierres construite[pas clair] sur un récif de corail plat le long de la côte de l'île de Temwen, plusieurs autres îlots artificiels et le littoral de la grande île voisine Pohnpei.
Les murs de pierre du site principal enferment une superficie d'environ 1,5 km de long par 0,5 km de large ; il contient près de 100 îlots artificiels — plates-formes de pierre et de corail — bordés par des canaux.
Certains sites de carrières probables autour de l'île ont été identifiés, mais l'origine exacte des pierres de Nan Madol est encore indéterminée. Aucune des carrières proposées n'est proche de Madolenihmw, ce qui signifie que les pierres ont été transportées jusqu'à leur emplacement actuel. Elles auraient pu être transportées par radeau depuis la carrière, mais le processus n'a jamais été démontré avec succès. Les archéologues n'ont pas encore fini d'éclaircir le mystère, mais une plongée entre l'île et les carrières montre un chemin de pierres abandonnées.
En 1974, le site a été inscrit au National Register of Historic Places. En 1985, les ruines de Nan Madol ont été déclarées monument historique national. Actuellement, un effort est fait pour les préserver. Une autorisation est nécessaire pour les visiter.

Nan Madol 1984: A Video Diagram
This is a video diagram to accompany the Nan Madol 1984 series, mostly to help with the spelling and pronunciation, but it also gives an idea of the places we visited. In the words of a prominent archaeologist, it sort of fits they could be there. If you want to be more precise Ive listed the geo coordinates for use with google satellite maps.

Nan Madol 1984: Ch 1 Mysterious Ruins
More video from the dusty old videotapes shot on a trip through the Pacific islands in 1984. By a fortunate chance we happened to be touring at the same time a prominent archaeologist, Dr. Stephen Athens, was conducting his research. He was generous enough to give this boatload of tourists a guided tour and lecture.
This first chapter covers the time before we met Dr. Athens. We were just a mixed boatload of travelers and vacationers; some expecting to see one of the wonders of the ancient world, others just taking a boat ride. All of us were astounded as Nandauwas came into view. The following chapters will cover our explorations in greater detail, as Dr. Athens explains what we are seeing. You can get a quick overview of where this is going from the already posted Sketches of Nan Madol 1984.

MICRONESIA 2013 - Praying at Nan Madol Ruins
Our missionary team joined ranks with the indigenous Pohnpeians to repent, pray, worship and take communion at the mysterious Nan Madol ruins which were said to have been built using demonic powers. Human sacrifices are said to have once been performed at this demonic stronghold, so in the Spirit we exchanged the blood of Christ for the blood of humans that was spilt here hundreds of years ago.
