More Pacific, Thor Heyerdahl
I notice that i have now 413 wiewers, welcome. I have always been interested in foreign cultures and explorers, my idol is the Norweigan explorer Thor Heyerdahl 1914-2002. He built ancient vessels to proove that the world had been colonized over the oceans thousands of years ago. He first came to think of this when he studied the sea streams when he spent a year as a honeymoon at Fatuhiva, Marquesas 1937, which almost cost them their lifes, he was a Norweigan commandosoldier during the Second World War and 1947 he sailed from Callao in Peru to Raroia north of Tahiti in a bals raft, Kon Tiki, to proove that the Inkas sailed from Peru to Polynesia. He also sailed over the Atlantic and Tigris on reed boats. He lived also in New Zeeland and on the American northwestcoast and found out that the people and the cultures were similar. The Maoris and the Indians had both legends about a man who sailed to Hawaii. The first Maori came from Havaiki. Coco Island is also a proove of this, there is a coconutplantation there, but nobody lives there, it is only made for food and water supply on the way to Galapagos and Easter Island. When The Dutch explorer Roggeven came To Easter Island 1722 he found white people there. There are many similar culture objects in the Old and the New world. Fascinating.
