Bradley is a family
history consultant in Pohnpei and he spent most days with us. He is such a good
friend and was so helpful in assisting us in many ways. We had a little time
one day and so we went to Nan Madol. The complex Nan Madol is constructed
on a series of artificial islets in shallow water next to the eastern shore of
the Pohnpei island. The site encloses an area approximately 1.5 km long by 0.5
km wide and contains nearly 100 artificial islets.
According to local legend, the stones used in the construction of
Nan Madol have been flown to the location by means of black magic.
Archeologists have been located several possible quarry sites on the main
island, however the exact method of transportation of construction material is
still not determined.
