The real Kon-Tiki had a sail but Heggyerdahl forgot this bit before setting off accross the Pacific Ocean! What an eggstremely foolish error!
More on Thor Heyerdahls eggspedition here:
I was watching a docu on Roald Amundsen the other day and someone asked for a Thor Heyerdahl episode, reminding me of his eggsistence just in time for this challenge. 😉
NOTE: Modern evidence does not back up his hypothesis of Polynesia being settled from South America.
However, determined and sometimes foolhardy Norweggians going on daft oceanic eggspeditions have been a thing for over 1000 years, before my dad set out to sail the seas as a career choice open to 15 year-old youngest sons in post-wwwar Norway.
