The 8th Wonder of the World? (NAN MADOL, MICRONESIA)

► INSTAGRAM? Join me @drewbinsky!

WOWOWOW! Have you ever heard of Nan Madol? It's my favorite place in the Pacific Islands so far (and top 10 site in the world).

Nan Madol is an ancient city built some 2,000+ years ago out of volcanic rock and sea coral on the Eastern shore of Pohnpei island in the country of Micronesia 🇫🇲 It’s something like Angkor Wat but on the middle of a remote island...

It was a place for royalty gatherings as well as the burial site for the king and queen. I honestly hadn’t heard about it until a week ago when my friend mentioned it to me in Nauru, and I am completely blown away by what I have seen here. My friend and I were we were the ONLY ones around to explore and it is just fascinating.

Have you ever heard of Nan Madol before? Add it to your list!

Nan madol is said to be venice of the Pacific islands 🌴 and is as mysterious as the stonehenge .

[yowwowtow]

Nan Madol is like a catacomb, there used to be more tombs there actually. When Germany was occupying the islands they had many artifacts put onto ships to be exhumed in their own countries. You’re not supposed to move the tombs from Nan Madol either, it brings a bad omen. Their ships ended up sinking and never made it to their destination and the general went mad and ended up dying of an unknown illness. Really curious about all the things they put on those boats

Im half pohnpeian and it makes me happy to see the island getting recognition, I haven't had the chance to go yet because I was born in America and never got to meet that side of my family until i was 16 and it was in Kansas City where alot of them are at instead of the island. Preciate you showing love to my people though!<3

I'm a pohnpeian and raised there and when you ask where did they get the stone at, my mom(pohnpeian) told me that they use magic. We don't know if they did but you have to respect that place cause it's spiritual. My mom also one told me that there's this one scientist take/toke a bone from Nan mandol, the scientist died out of nowhere

The Pacific Islands were connected to a larger land mass
thousands of years ago.
These structures were probably built before the land mass broke apart
and very-well could be remnants of structures that survived
Noah's Flood, like the Sphinx and others.

The place is remote. Those rocks that build that is nowhere near but closer to the mountain. And this is 2, 000 years ago when black magic was still roaming the region. And still a bit today.

I am Micronesian pohnbei 🇫🇲 and I have all ways wondered what the 8th wonder was about and this makes me happy because there are not many videos about Micronesia because of how unknown the place is!
