Thor Heyerdahl used bundled reeds and all native products.

This is totally bogus dude !

No, Thor did a second craft in the ME called the Ra. Don't be so easily confused.

Do some research on your own before letting the rest of know that you may be a compleat idiot. ;-)

"The Feast of St. Xenia is celebrated in the Orthodox church on January 24, the day on which she died."

She was canonized by the Russian Orthodox Church on February 6, 1988. Her feast day in the O.S. is January 24,

Interesting, two St. Xenias.

The claim of the researcher, yes, I agree. Heyerdahl even cut his logs in Ecuador, just like this project did. Gee, wonder where *that* idea came from? The original Kontiki raft at least used to be on display in a museum in Scandinavia. It had to be recovered from that reef, so parts of it are probably reproductions, but they were made by the people who did it the first time.
