[post_page_title]A theory debunked[/post_page_title]
Norwegian explorer Thor Heyerdahl, who gained worldwide notoriety in 1947 for the Kon-Tiki expedition across the Pacific from South America to the Polynesian islands, popularized a theory about the Rapa Nui people that suggested they were descendants of Indians from the South American coast. He came up with the theory when he saw the moai, and thought they resembled art from the native South American population rather than anything Polynesian. The theory has since been debunked.
