Heyerdahlis a Norwegian anthropologist and sea explorer. When he did an anthropological survey on the Polynesian Islands in the Pacific, the island’s ruins, legends, etc. convinced him that the first inhabitants of the islands came from South America in the fifth century AD, but he had no idea. Believe. For this reason, he found 5 volunteers, and crossed the Pacific with him on the Indian raft "Kantiki", which was strictly imitated as it was. He wanted to prove that the Polynesians did not come from Asia, but crossed the Pacific from South America. Achieved the migration. In April 1947, they set off from Peru, South America, and took a raft for 101 days and 4,900 miles of life and death. They traveled more than 4,000 nautical miles and finally reached the Polynesian Islands in the South Pacific, creating a miracle in the history of human navigation

Bengt Danielsson: [confused after to relish the dusts with a finger] Where's the shark repellent?
Torstein Raaby: [funny] Well, apparently we ate that.

Herman Watzinger: [about the ropes that keep united the raft] It's our only chance. Our only hope now is to try and reinforce the ropes. Tighten up everything again.
Thor Heyerdahl: Herman... We have built this raft just like Tiki did, and he made it there. And so will we. This is the faith we have.
Herman Watzinger: Faith? This isn't a religion Thor. This is... insanity.
Thor Heyerdahl: This is bigger than us.
Herman Watzinger: Please. Look at the logs. Feel how your raft is moving.
Thor Heyerdahl: Tiki knew.
Herman Watzinger: My God!, you understand nothing? There's no one here except you who believes in Tiki!
Thor Heyerdahl: No?
[makes a pause. He looks everybody]
Thor Heyerdahl: Then what the hell are you doing here?
