Thor Heyerdahl's raft, named Kon-Tiki, was made from balsa wood logs lashed together with hemp rope. The raft was primarily constructed using traditional Peruvian techniques to replicate the ancient vessels that were believed to have been used by pre-Columbian South American civilizations.
Thor Heyerdahl led the Kon-Tiki expedition. He and his crew set out in 1947 from Peru to sail across the Pacific Ocean on a balsa wood raft to prove that it was possible for ancient South Americans to reach Polynesia. The expedition was successful, and it provided evidence for Heyerdahl's theory.
Heyerdahl's voyage on the Kon-Tiki proved that it was possible for ancient South American civilizations to have contact with Polynesia. He demonstrated that it was feasible for a primitive raft to make a transoceanic journey, which contradicted the prevailing belief that ancient people lacked the technology and skills to do so.
Thor Heyerdahl is considered a hero by some for his groundbreaking Kon-Tiki expedition in 1947, where he sailed a raft from South America to Polynesia to prove his theory on ancient migration routes. However, others argue that his theories have been widely criticized by modern scholars and his methods have been considered unscientific. Ultimately, whether he is a hero or not depends on one's perspective.
During the last glaciation the sea levels dropped but not enough to enable anyone to cross without needing a boat. The depth would have been about 600 ft, (200 m). Of course tools have been found on the island of Crete which suggest humans were there long before the last glaciation and the only way they could get there would be by boat or raft.
