Nan Madol 1984: Ch 5 Kaselehlia Nandauwas

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 5: We wind our way though a reflective maze of jungle covered canals on our way to take Dr. Athens home, then on to a last glimpse of the magnificent Nandauwas. If these last five chapters cover more than you ever wanted to see of Nan Madol the abridged Sketches of Nan Madol tells the same story in a mere eight minutes. 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)
