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 Heyerdahl has sought to provide some evidence of this hypothesis in a number of his expeditions. Heyerdahl is not a Mormon, but does believe that there was contact between Polynesia and the Americas. Heyerdahl has stated that voyagers in the Pacific came from both the shores of Asia and the Americas. Many critics of Heyerdahl have believed that he advocates the American contact theory exclusively, which is wrong.
