Thor Heyerdahl (1914-2002) gained worldwide fame when he crossed
the Pacific Ocean on
Kon-Tiki in 1947. He followed this up with spectacular
expeditions on the reed boats
Ra and Tigris. His recreations of
prehistoric voyages showed that early man had
mastered sailing before the saddle and wheel were invented. His reputation as a scientist was
consolidated through his archaeological excavations
on the fabled, mysterious Easter Island. Curiosity was Thor
Heyerdahl's driving force. If you want to learn more about his exciting work,
you can visit the Kon-Tiki Museum in Oslo. Thor Heyerdahl’s archives at the Kon-Tiki Museum have now been included in UNESCO’s Memory of the World register.
