Kontiki

The book chronicles the 101-day journey of six men, including Heyerdahl, as they navigate the Pacific Ocean on a raft constructed from balsa logs and native materials.

The expedition aimed to prove that it was technically possible for ancient people to sail from South America to Polynesia using only the materials and technologies available at the time.

The journey was marked by encounters with marine life, storms, and the eventual landing on the Tuamotu Islands.

Despite the scientific community's rejection of Heyerdahl's theory, the book remains a classic tale of adventure and daring.
