Thor Heyerdahl war überzeugt: Die polynesische Kultur hat ihren Ursprung in Peru. Doch konnten die Menschen vor 1500 Jahren wirklich die Weiten des Pazifischen Ozeans überqueren? Um das zu demonstrieren, baute der Norweger ein einfaches Floß und begab sich mit fünf Begleitern auf die abenteuerliche Fahrt. Und tatsächlich erreichte er nach 101 Tagen sein Ziel - der Fachwelt und aller Gefahren zum Trotz. (Quelle: Website des Ullstein-Verlags)
