One day, the Polynesians thought that coming from South America instead of Asia, which was widely believed by scientists at the time, and next time he was in the middle of the Pacific Ocean with the other five men and a parrot on the raft I tried to prove to. His assumption is true.

Biologist Thor Heyerdahl suspects Polynesian folklore and the South China Sea Islands suspect that they settled by thousands of ancient people led by a wonderful hero Kon-Tiki. He decided to prove his theory by copying the legendary voyage. On April 28, 1947, Heildahl and the other five adventurers sailed with a raft from Peru. They only saw the land after three pauses on the high seas, only in storms, whales, countless sharks - polyphasia in Polynesia
In the mid-20th century, Thor Heyerdahl proposed that the Polynesians moved from a large whale hunting shelter on the northwest coast of Canada to a Balsa wooden boat in South America. Many anthropologists have criticized Heildahl's theory, including Wade Davis in his book "Wayfinders". Davis says that Heyerdahl "ignores overwhelming words, ethnographic and ethnobotanical evidence today ascertained through genetic and archaeological data, indicating that he is clearly wrong" Said.

A big country was brought to the island. Horizon After he created his theory, he listened to many critics about the impossible Tiki journey. So he decided to travel on the same terms.

Heildahl wrote this moving story as a book, was filmed in 2012, and was nominated for Oscar Best Foreign Language Film Award.
