7 Lost Megalithic Cities of Micronesia & the Pacific Islands

Some of the strangest megalithic monuments are the ones found in the most remote areas of the world – the middle of the Pacific Ocean. This includes the lost civilisation and sunken city of Nan Madol in Micronesia, the Pulemelei Pyramid in Samoa, and of course, the famed Easter Island Moai. Of all stages of ancient human migration, tackling something as colossal as the Pacific Ocean is easily among the most challenging. Why any of these people left their native homelands to explore the vast expanses of the open ocean remains a mystery. While there is some archaeological data on the settling of the major Pacific islands, much of it is still open to debate.
