I have always liked my name, even though I was always called 'Reese's Pieces' in elementary school-for about 2 days, I might add, until it got old. I was proud of my name's history, meaning, and connection to family, even at a young age.
Thor Heyerdahl (October 6, 1914 Larvik, Norway â April 18, 2002 Colla Micheri, Italy) was a Norwegian ethnographer and adventurer with a scientific background in zoology and geography.
Thor is the son of Odin, and Gaea the goddess of the Earth. Odin wanted a child of Asgard and Midgard , which is why he mated with Gaea. Gaea gave birth to Thor in a small cave in Norway. A few months later, Odin took the baby Thor to Asgard to be raised by his wife, Frigga.
