Articles liés à Easter Island: The Mystery Solved
Présentation de l'éditeur
Easter Island is one of the most remote places in the world and Thor Heyerdahl spent much of his life investigating the mystery of Easter Island s ancient giant statues. How were they made, how were they moved and what was the origin of the native legend that the statues walked ? Heyerdahl visited Easter Island, in 1955 and 1956 as he tried to determine if the island had been originally colonised by people who sailed from South America across 2,000 miles of ocean. Returning to the island over thirty years later Heyerdahl investigated the ruins of the island s unique statues, monolithic human figures carved from rock, and experimented with techniques that could have allowed a pre-industrial culture to create and move such enormous figures. Easter Island is Heyerdahl s unique history of Easter Island, based on his own research, and an interpretation of the mystery of the island s statues that presents an individual view of world history.
Biographie de l'auteur
Thor Heyerdahl was one of the twentieth-century s most famous adventurers, and recreated many ocean voyages made by ships based on ancient designs. His 1947 Kon-Tiki expedition proved that the Incas were capable of sailing across the Pacific. He was awarded the Royal Gold Medal by the Royal Geographical Society in 1964 and was voted to be Norwegian of the Century in 2000. Thor Heyerdahl died in 2002.

Hard Cover. Etat : Fine. Etat de la jaquette : Very Good. Profusely Illustrated (illustrateur). First. A Fine unmarked copy with Very Good+ dustjacket which is not price clipped. A large format volume of 256 pages beautifully illustrated throughout in colour. Coloured map front endpapers. The book is the story of Thor Heyerdahl's love of mystery - and of an island and its people. Over 30 years ago, the man who did such important, pioneering work in Kon-Tiki wrote another book Aku-Aku about Easter Ispand. He was invited later to return to Easter Island and there confronted the conundrum of the famous haunting statues that stud the lovely island, massive and mysterious. How were they made? How were they moved? What did the natives mean when they had said, those many years earlier, that 'the statues walked'?
