THOR HEYERDAHL


AKU AKU. The Secret of Easter Island

1958 American Edition published by Rand McNally

Thor Heyerdahl describes his research at Rano Raraku and Anakena on the many giant stone statues or moai found on Easter Island and the culture that created them.

The book and a follow-up film of the same name made a major contribution to awareness, outside the anthropological and archaeological communities, of both the island and the statues.

This book is signed by the author on the front free endpaper above the map, "TO THOSE I CHERISH! THOR HEYERDAHL"
