    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 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

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.

      We don’t bother to be part of those wonders. It’s better to stay the way it is.

      No Pohnpeians are saying Nan Madol is the 8th wonder. It’s the people that are interested in the 7 wonders saying that. I don’t think most Pohnpeians know/care about the 7 wonders. I don’t even know/care about the 7 wonders. I only know one and it’s the Great Pyramid of Giza.
