Could the striking similarities in the ancient civilizations of the Americas and the Mediterranean be more than mere coincidence?With characteristic boldness, Thor Heyerdahl decided to find out by crossing the Atlantic in a boat made of papyrus reeds - not once, but twice. In this book, he tells how those expeditions were planned and carried out. He describes the search for men to build Ra and Ra II, and for a unique international crew to sail them. He portrays the excitement of discovery in the same compelling personal style that made Kon-Tiki and Aku-Aku best-sellers.This book is illustrated with 111 full-color photographs.#2 KON-TIKI Across the Pacific by Raft By Thor Heyerdahl Translated by F.
