I never meant to imply that all Norwegians are conspirators in the Heyerdahl theories, just that certain nationalistic "scientists" and other groups like his idea of red haired Viking like/Norse-like/Norwegian types spreading their superior genes and technologies across the Western world. This sight is about fun and Kon-tiki is part of that fun/fantasy but it pisses me off when people are trying to say Thor's theories have merit, even now... Smacks of colonialism--cultural elitism and ultimately racism. I certainly have no beef against diffusionist science and firmly believe that more inter-cultural exchange took place than is currently preached... Solutrean-Clovis connection maybe, Polynesians in the Americas -very likely. Vikings civilizing Peru and Polynesia and NW Indians being majority ancestors of Polynesians ala Heyerdahl--BS! Again thanks for the info and I hope I didn't come off as slamming all of Norway, though I probably did. Lord knows there is plenty of propagandistic pseudo-science coming from the United States. Peace S T
