Summary of Green Was the Earth on the Seventh Day
The bestselling author of Kon-Tiki and Aku-Aku set out for the far Pacific and a place where he could throw his watch away and meet nature in its purest form. It was the start of many journeys to prove that ancient man had traveled far and wide, and was far more daring, sophisticated, and wise than had been thought. 24 photos.A very young Thor Heyerdahl sets out with his new wife for paradise--a natural and unspoiled world that they find, to a degree, in the South Pacific. It was the first of many journeys that would lead to expeditions and explorations, to a vocation, to the testing of theories against the currents of oceans and history, to books that would include Kon-Tiki and The Ra Expeditions. This warm, spirited, amusing memoir of Heyerdahl's youth is part love story, part adventure story, part documentary, part sermon, all good read.
