In the early 1900s, diamonds were discovered in the sands south of Luderitz. Almost overnight, a diamond rush began, drawing people from all over into the desert. Over 50 years, Kolmanskop flourished as a beacon of wealth in Namibia. But eventually the diamonds dried up, and the money dried up with them.
I went alone into the ghost town to explore the houses getting eaten by the sand. If you like this video, be sure to subscribe to my channel!

Fascinating tour of a town that time forgot. The sand piled really gives it a unique vibe. As do the German signs. I'd be very unnerved walking around that place.

Way cool. Not sure that I would have the courage to go there alone.
