Nan Madol 1984: Ch 2 Doctor Athens I Presume

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. Chapter 2: Dr. Athens arrives on Nandauwas and gives a short lecture to this mixed boatload of travelers and vacationers before we continue on to explore some other islets by boat. 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. Popular Article: Athens, J. Stephen, 1983, The Megalithic ruins of Nan Madol. Natural History 92(12):50-61 Highly recommended book (If you can find it.): Hanlon, David; Upon a Stone Alter, A History of the Island of Pohnpei to 1890 (ISBN 0-8248-1124-0)
