Yes, Thor Heyerdal believed in the theory of navigation, particularly in the context of his Kon-Tiki expedition where he sought to demonstrate that ancient South Americans could have sailed to the Pacific islands using primitive means. Heyerdal's work challenged conventional thinking on the seafaring abilities of ancient civilizations.
