An ORIGINAL, NOT A COPY, NOR REPRODUCTION, AUTHENTIC old AUTOGRAPH ALBUM PAGE with a book stock photo HAND SIGNED POSTCARD picturing his famed papyrus boat RA II in 1970 by the famed ad...venturer THOR HEYERDAHL.
Thor Heyerdahl (October 6, 1914 – April 18, 2002) was a Norwegian adventurer and ethnographer with a background in zoology, botany, and geography. He became notable for his Kon-Tiki expedition in 1947, in which he sailed 8, 000 km (5, 000 mi) across the Pacific Ocean in a hand-built raft from South America to the Tuamotu Islands. The expedition was designed to demonstrate that ancient people could have made long sea voyages, creating contacts between separate cultures. This was linked to a diffusionist model of cultural development. Heyerdahl subsequently made other voyages designed to demonstrate the possibility of contact between widely separated ancient people, notably the Ra II expedition of 1970, when he sailed from the west coast of Africa to Barbados in a papyrus reed boat..It's worth an google search to learn more about this important and historic man's life and career.

FEEDBACK
Feedback is a huge issue for sellers. The new rules of eBay make the detailed feedback (the stars) as important as whether the feedback is positive or not. By giving a seller 1 or 2 stars you may cause him/her additional expenses on eBay fees of hundreds of dollars a month for a long period of time. Please contact me before leaving a less than perfect feedback to discuss any problem.
