Thor Heyerdahl: the Story of a Great Adventurer
No one had considered the possibility that men might
, have crossed the Atlantic before Christopher Colombus in 1492. Thor Heyerdahl , however, became ever more convinced that reed ships, the oldest ocean-going vessels built by early man, might be the vital clue that would lead to an explanation of the strange similarities between the civilizations of the Old
World and those of the New.
The great Norwegian explorer was going to do more than speculate. He was going to try. Narrated by Christopher Railing.
