Welcome to AirNManky's Cabinet of Curiosity's, a production of I Heart Radio and Grimm

and Mild.

Our world is full of the unexplainable.

And if history is an open book, all of these amazing tales are right there on display,

just waiting for us to explore.

Welcome to the Cabinet of Curiosity's.

There are structures in the world that feel like they've been there since the beginning

of time.

Petra and Jordan, the great pyramid of Giza and Italy's Colosseum, are so much a part

of the fabric of history that it's almost impossible to imagine the world without them.

We know almost nothing about the individuals who toil the way at their construction.

All we have is the evidence of their work, incredible achievements in human engineering.

But there is an equally amazing achievement that isn't often listed among other wonders.

Yet despite its relative obscurity, its existence has captivated archaeologists for generations,

mainly because of how it got there.

It's called Nan Madole, meaning within the intervals, and it can be found over 1,300

miles northeast of Papua New Guinea in the Pacific Ocean.

Nan Madole is just off the eastern coast of Panpei as part of the federated states of

Micronesia.

It is, or was, a city that was built inside a lagoon and is comprised of nearly a hundred

man-made stone islets, all of which are connected by a series of canals.

This unique composition has earned it the nickname, the Venice of the Pacific.
