    Melander, V. 2019. David’s Weapon of Mass Destruction: The Reception Bofulletin the History of Archaeology of Thor Heyerdahl’s ‘Kon-Tiki Theory’. Bulletin of the History of Archaeology, 29(1): 6, pp. 1–11. DOI: https://doi.org/10.5334/bha-612 RESEARCH PAPER: ASIA/PACIFIC David’s Weapon of Mass Destruction: The Reception of Thor Heyerdahl’s ‘Kon-Tiki Theory’ Victor Melander From the late 1930s to his death in 2002, Norwegian adventurer and amateur ethnologist Thor Heyerdahl struggled to find academic acceptance for his Pacific Islands settlement theory. He even went as far as using the biblical story of David and Goliath as a metaphor for his struggle against academia. However, there are numerous reasons to question the accuracy of Heyerdahl’s description of his relationship to the scientific community. This paper discusses the reception of Heyerdahl’s ‘Kon-Tiki theory’ among Pacific scholars in the late 1940s and early 1950s. By analysing contemporary reviews of Heyerdahl’s 1952 book American Indians in the Pacific and comments on early drafts of the theory, this paper demonstrates that the material substantially differs from Heyerdahl’s own claims. He was not excluded by the Pacific scientific community, but welcomed and encouraged. Above all, reviewers of Heyerdahl’s theory praised the importance of the challenge he had posed to the established research narrative. However, Heyerdahl’s academic amateurism failed to convince the scientific community of the accuracy of his theory. Introduction 170–214). The theme was hardly new and had already From the late 1930s to his death in 2002, Norwegian been adopted by Heyerdahl as a narrative driving force in adventurer and amateur ethnologist Thor Heyerdahl the 1940s (e.g.

This is because at its widest, the Pacific is nearly 180 degrees across—more than twelve thousand miles, or almost half the circumference of the earth. North to south, from the Aleutian Islands to the Antarctic, it stretches another ten thousand miles... so big that you could fit all the landmasses of earth inside it and there would still be room for another content as large as North and South America combined. It is not simply the largest body of water on the planet—it is the largest single feature. For most of human history, no one could have known any of this... For tens of thousands of years, long after humans had colonized its edges, the middle of the Pacific Ocean remained beyond the reach of man. Then, about four thousand years ago, a new group of migrants appeared in the western Pacific... the first to leave behind the chains of intervisible islands and sail out into the open ocean. They were perhaps the closest thing to a sea people the world has known." – CHRISTINA THOMPSON, Sea People: The Puzzle of Polynesia, Harper Collins, 2019 Cover photo: Paddleboaring at Fatu Hiva, Marquesas. ©Ralph Lee Hopkins Taha ’a B ora Bora Huahine R a’iatea SOCIETY ISLANDS The most famous and best-known islands in French Polynesia, including Tahiti, Moorea, Raiatea, Bora Bora and Huahine.

After training in the Polynesian way of life and customs, the Heyerdahls settled for one year on the isolated island of Fatuhiva in the Marquesas Group. While doing research on the transoceanic origins of the island´s animal life, the naturalist lived an otherwise traditional Polynesian life. During this time, he began to contemplate the existing theories of how the South Pacific inhabitants reached the islands. Struggling with the eternal easterly winds and currents whenever he and his Polynesian friends ventured into the sea to fish, he lost faith in textbook claims that these islands had been discovered and settled by as yet unidentified stone-age voyagers from South-east Asia who had sailed and (1914 - 2002) Thor Heyerdahl Thor Heyerdahl is a world-renowned explorer and archaeologist. He was born in 1914, in Larvik, Norway. From his earliest days, he was an enthusiastic nature lover, and he was inspired by his mother (who was head of the local museum) to take an interest in zoology and nature. While still in primary school, he ran a one-room zoological museum from his home. Mr. Heyerdahl later enrolled at the University of Oslo, where he specialized in zoology and geography until leaving on his first expedition to Polynesia in 1937-1938.

Some kids are very concerned about their education ... you know ... what courses to take and ... uh ... exams and what job or work they're going to do in the future. Those kids really study hard and worry about their grades. But of course a lot are more interested in going out and dating. I don't think many kids are too serious about life, really.

Exploring the role of Norwegian scholar-activists of the late twentieth century, Peder Anker examines how they portrayed their country as a place of environmental stability in a world filled with tension. In contrast with societies dirtied by the hot and cold wars of the twentieth century, Norway’s power, they argued, lay in the pristine, ideal natural environment of the periphery. Globally, a beautiful Norway came to be contrasted with a polluted world and fashioned as an ecological microcosm for the creation of a better global macro- cosm.
