AMERICAN INDIANS IN THE PACIFIC: The Theory Behind the Kon-Tiki Expedition
by Thor Heyerdahl

DESCRIPTION
A massive, 821-page scientific treatise detailing the anthropological and ethnological theories that inspired his famous 1947 Kon-Tiki raft voyage.
This heavily illustrated book was Heyerdahl’s primary attempt to secure academic legitimacy for his controversial hypothesis that Polynesia was originally settled by pre-Columbian seafarers from South America and the Pacific Northwest.
The work remains a fascinating, highly polarizing artifact in the history of Pacific anthropology and archaeology.
Illustrated throughout with monochrome images and drawings.
