Thor Heyerdahl

Died in 2002

Thor Heyerdahl was born on 6 October 1914 in Larvik. He studied zoology and geography at the University of Oslo, which he left without a degree for Polynesia; in the Marquesas, he began to wonder how the peoples of the Pacific had reached their islands. After the 1947 crossing, he led other expeditions, to the Galápagos, Easter Island, and then on the reed boats Ra and Tigris. Most anthropologists have not accepted his theories. He died in Colla Micheri, in Italy, on 18 April 2002.
