Kon-Tiki is the classic true tale of men against the sea and against scientific orthodoxy. This book discusses the Kon-Tiki expedition, upon which six young men proved that a prehistoric voyage from South America to Polynesia was possible — contrary to the predictions of scientists and scholars. Heyerdahl's work has led to a revolution in thinking about the roots of South Pacific civilizations.
