This is an interesting and cool adventure, but I'm curious about something... Why are they going backwards? What I mean is, wasn't Heyerdahl's hypothesis that the peopling of the Americas originated in Polynesia (roughly)? So wouldn't it be more accurate and scientifically valuable for these guys to sail TO Peru rather than FROM Peru? Just thinking out loud what has puzzled me (and most of the other anthropologists I know) for many years... Cheers, amio |
