Kon Tiki's journey, led by Thor Heyerdahl in 1947, proved that ancient South American people could have reached Polynesia by drifting on rafts. The expedition demonstrated the feasibility of long-distance ocean travel using primitive technology, challenging established views about the migration patterns of early Polynesians. Heyerdahl's successful voyage highlighted the potential for cultural exchange across vast ocean distances, suggesting that the interconnectedness of ancient civilizations was more complex than previously thought.
In Chapter 4 of "Kon-Tiki," Thor Heyerdahl and his crew continue their preparations for the journey across the Pacific Ocean on their raft. They finalize the construction of the Kon-Tiki, ensuring it is seaworthy and equipped with the necessary supplies. The chapter highlights the challenges they face, including skepticism from experts and logistical issues, yet the crew remains determined and excited about their upcoming adventure. This chapter sets the stage for the expedition, emphasizing the spirit of exploration and the quest to prove Heyerdahl's theories about ancient Polynesian migration.

Thor Heyerdahl made a voyage from Peru to Polynesia on a raft named Kon-Tiki in 1947 to demonstrate that ancient South American civilizations could have reached Polynesia by sea. This journey was to prove his theory that pre-Columbian South Americans could have settled Polynesia.

Thor Heyerdahl's expedition, specifically the Kon-Tiki expedition, aimed to prove that pre-Columbian South Americans could have colonized Polynesia using only wooden rafts. The success of the expedition demonstrated that such a journey was technically possible, supporting Heyerdahl's theory of ancient transoceanic migration routes.

The theory that Thor Heyerdahl was trying to prove by sailing the Kon-Tiki was that Polynesia might have been largely settled, not by travelers sailing eastward from Asia, as was generally believed, but by voyagers from the Americas.

Tikis are traditionally carved from wood, such as koa, pine, or palm. They can also be made from other materials like stone or ceramics for a more modern take on the traditional design.
