Throwback Thursday
Before there was digital simulation, there were real-life adventurers who wondered “what it?” Norwegian archaeologist Capt. Thor Heyerdahl was one of them, and when this Sept. 18, 1947 photo was taken, he and his six-man crew brought the Kon-Tiki expedition to Papeete, Tahiti, Polynesia. Heyerdahl and his crew spent 101 days crossing the Pacific from Peru to Tahiti. Heyerdahl built this replica of the aboriginal balsa raft to test his theories that the ancient Peruvians reached Polynesia with this transport. (AP Photo)
