With 32ha and 90 artificial islands, Nan Madol is built from 25 million tons of cross-linked basalt, forming high 5.49 - 7.62m walls, about 5.18m thick. Inside the citadel is covered by coral gravel, creating a high dyke to prevent the tide. How to transport basalt slabs weighing up to 50 tons is very mysterious because there is no trace of ancient machinery.

There is a theory that masons use rafts to transport them, but according to the experiment, basalt rocks sank immediately due to being too heavy.
