Reseña del editor
Along with his companions from nine nations, Heyerdahl set sail in a boat made of reeds in search of the sea routes which he was sure must have been used by the Sumerians in vessels like his own, 5000 years ago. Heyerdahl recounts the many discoveries and hazards that occurred on his journey down the Tigris, through the Gulf and on to the Indian Ocean - tales of modern shipping, bandits, reefs and the political dispute which finally led to the ceremonial burning of the boat.
Contraportada
'The Tigris Expedition', by the worldwide bestselling author of 'The Kon-Tiki Expedition', is the true story of an epic voyage, in a boat made from reeds, that took Thor Heyerdahl from the Garden of Eden on the bank of a river that flows from Ararat – where Noah's Ark came to rest – in search of sea routes to the Indian Ocean used by the Sumerians 5000 years ago. Heyerdahl and his companions from nine nations undertook this breathtaking mission in their flimsy craft to prove an ancient migratory route many scientists thought impossible.
Thor Heyerdayl's riveting account of their terrifying encounters – with supertankers in one of the world's busiest shipping lanes and with bandits and reefs – together with the fascinating detective work at the heart of their anthropological theory, makes the thrilling real-life adventure of 'The Tigris Expedition' essential reading.
''The Tigris Expedition' is rich not only in adventure and scholarship, but in the evocation of those virgin corners of the world which are the reward of men who travel unconventionally.'
COLIN THUBRON, 'Sunday Telegraph'
'A fascinating story of enterprise, history and adventure.'
FINANCIAL TIMES
'A classic chronicle of an extraordinary voyage.'

First published in hardcover 1980. Trade Paperback. Thor Heyerdahl KStJ (1914 2002) was a Norwegian adventurer and ethnographer with a background in biology with specialization in zoology, botany and geography. Heyerdahl gained fame for his Kon-Tiki expedition in 1947, in which he sailed 5,000 miles across the Pacific Ocean in a hand-built raft from South America to the Tuamotu Islands. The expedition was designed to demonstrate that ancient people could have made long sea voyages, creating contacts between societies. This was linked to a diffusionist model of cultural development. Heyerdahl made other voyages to demonstrate the possibility of contact between widely separated ancient peoples, among them the Ra II expedition of 1970, when he sailed from the west coast of Africa to Barbados in a papyrus reed boat. Along with his companions from nine nations, Heyerdahl set sail in a boat made of reeds in search of the sea routes which he was sure must have been used by the Sumerians in vessels like his own, 5000 years ago. In 'The Tigris Expedition', Heyerdahl recounts the many discoveries and hazards that occurred on his journey down the Tigris, through the Gulf and on to the Indian Ocean - tales of modern shipping, bandits, reefs and the political dispute which finally led to the ceremonial burning of the boat. This was to be the last of the Great Expeditions in reed ships that Heyerdahl made on the ocean and it makes for an exciting read. Thor and his 10 multi-national companions built and sailed again together in a reed ship - a ma-gur- from models based on Middle Eastern antiquity. It was to be the last of the sea explorer series that started with Kon-Tiki, and then through Ra I and Ra II - all voyages made in reed ships that the author and his international crew built in the ancient manner and sailed in the old way to modern versions of ancient ports in their quest to prove sea routes of ancient man viable. ; Small 8vo 7½" - 8" tall; 379 pages.
