In a visual and musical tour-de-force, see levitation by superconductors, Tibetan monks levitating stones, and never-before-seen underwater footage of an ancient sunken city. Interviewed are Bishop Museum's Dr. Yosihiko Sinoto on the megalithic city; anthropologist Retti Lawrence on the ancient secrets kept there; and others with theories on the levitation of the city's huge basalt rocks. Episode 1 of Lost City Adventures reveals the incredible and beautiful world of Pohnpei and the strange city of Nan Madol, built out of magic basalt rocks.
