Long before its film, Kon-Tiki has been a cult book –published in 1948- for all sailors. In one of the most inspiring stories in naval history, in 1947, Norwegian explorer Thor Heyerdahl and his friends crossed the Pacific on a simple raft made with the techniques used in antiquity. It all started with anthropologist Thor Heyerdahl’s controversial theory, suggesting that the people of Polynesian Islands had settled there by sailing to these islands from South America. Heyerdahl’s theory was met with criticism as his colleagues found such a journey impossible. So he decided to try sailing from South America to Polynesia under exactly the same conditions as people had back then. Heyerdahl goes to Peru with his friends, where they build a raft and set sail to 8,000-kilometers of adventure. Kon-Tiki’s 101-day-long crossing is full of exciting details.
