Critics Review
“One site stands out as greatly significant in our understanding of the emergence of civilization in the Pacific. That place is the enigmatic site of Nan Madol on the eastern shores of the island of Pohnpei in Micronesia. Carole Nervig not only throws new light on this mysterious place but finds its precursor in Pohnpaid, adding considerable knowledge to what we know about this much understudied part of the ancient world.” * Andrew Collins, author of Göbekli Tepe *
“In her beautifully illustrated new book, The Petroglyphs of Mu, Carole Nervig provides a vivid, firsthand account of little-known sites and traditions from the Pacific island of Pohnpei that may hold the key to unraveling the mystery of Nan Madol and its unique megalithic architecture; all of this against the background of prehistoric transoceanic journeys and the possibility of a lost Pacific culture of the last ice age.” * Marco Vigato, author of The Empires of Atlantis *
