Didn t Heyerdahl s Kon-Tiki raft journey to Easter Island prove South Americans could have reached Polynesia?

A. First, Heyerdahl s Kon-Tiki raft journey never went to Easter Island, nor was this his destination. (He eventually crashed on a coral reef in the Tuamotu Islands.) Second, while Heyerdahl s raft journey suggests people from South America could have reached Polynesia, it s important to recognize that the Kon-Tiki had to be towed out to sea by a tugboat in order to avoid the strong Humboldt current that would normally carry any drifting coastal vessel north towards Central America. So the likelihood of an un-assisted drift journey from South America is slim.

(Some researchers have suggested that eastern Polynesians may have visited South America and returned, but there s no significance evidence to support this theory.) Scientists and scholars have evaluated a wide range of disciplines, from linguistics to genetics, from ethnography to technology, and no solid evidence of direct contact between South America and Easter Island has ever been discovered.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
