”One learns more from listening than speaking. And both the wind and the people who continue to live close to nature still have much to tell us which we cannot hear within university walls.”
Thor Heyerdahl is known for his Kon-Tiki expedition of 1947. He navigated 8.000 kilometers in the Pacific Ocean (from South America to the Tuamotu Islands) in a handmade raft in order to prove that ancient peoples could have gone on long sea voyages, thereby creating contacts between separate cultures.
