In 1955, Heyerdahl set out on what would become known as “the Norwegian Archaeological Expedition to Easter Island and the East Pacific”. The trawler M / S Bjelland transported the expedition’s members around the eastern part of the Pacific Ocean for nine months, with visits and surveys on many islands in the region. But the main purpose and most of the time was spent on Easter Island. This mysterious and remote island, located about as far from the rest of Polynesia as it is from South America. Here they excavated, tried to erect some of the fallen stone statues, examined the culture and history of the population. All to find out where these people came from. Was it from South America on balsa rafts that Heyerdahl had proved the possibility of, or was it from the west - in the Polynesian’s sea-going canoe? |
