| Resumen |
Thor Heyerdahl (* 6. Oktober 1914 in Larvik, Norwegen; 18. April 2002 in Colla Micheri, Italien) war ein norwegischer Anthropologe, Zoologe, Geologe, Ethnologe, Botaniker und Abenteurer. Tigris\1977 folgte noch die Reise mit dem Schilfboot Tigris von Al Qurnah (Irak) nach Dschibuti. Dort musste er die Reise wegen der aktuellen kriegerischen Lage abbrechen. Aus Protest verbrannte er die Tigris am Strand. Im Kampf mit Piraten und Naturgewalten. 11 Mann in einem nachgebauten alten sumerischen Segelboot bereisen den Arabischen Golf und den Indischen Ozean. Thor Heyerdahl baute das Boot 1978 nach altsumerischem Muster damit fuhr er vom Arabischen Golf über den Indischen Ozean - zwischen Supertankern und Schlachtschiffen, im Kampf mit Piraten und Naturgewalten. Mit 144 Farbbildern und einer Karte. Ein echter Abenteuerbericht.\Thor Heyerdahl (October 6, 1914 Larvik, Norway – April 18, 2002 Colla Micheri, Italy) was a Norwegian ethnographer and adventurer with a scientific background in zoology and geography. Heyerdahl became famous for his Kon-Tiki expedition, in which he sailed 4,300 miles (8,000 km) by raft from South America to the Tuamotu Islands.Heyerdahl built yet another reed boat, Tigris, which was intended to demonstrate that trade and migration could have linked Mesopotamia with the Indus Valley Civilization in what is now modern-day Pakistan. Tigris was built in Iraq and sailed with its international crew through the Persian Gulf to Pakistan and made its way into the Red Sea. After about 5 months at sea and still remaining seaworthy, the Tigris was deliberately burnt in Djibouti, on April 3, 1978 as a protest against the wars raging on every side in the Red Sea and Horn of Africa. In Heyerdahl's open letter to the Secretary of the United Nations he said in part: Today we burn our proud ship. to protest against inhuman elements in the world of 1978. Now we are forced to stop at the entrance to the Red Sea. Surrounded by military airplanes and warships from the world's most civilized and developed nations, we have been denied permission by friendly governments, for reasons of security, to land anywhere, but in the tiny, and still neutral, Republic of Djibouti. Elsewhere around us, brothers and neighbors are engaged in homicide with means made available to them by those who lead humanity on our joint road into the third millennium. To the innocent masses in all industrialized countries, we direct our appeal. We must wake up to the insane reality of our time. We are all irresponsible, unless we demand from the responsible decision makers that modern armaments must no longer be made available to people whose former battle axes and swords our ancestors condemned. Our planet is bigger than the reed bundles that have carried us across the seas, and yet small enough to run the same risks unless those of us still alive open our eyes and minds to the desperate need of intelligent collaboration to save ourselves and our common civilization from what we are about to convert into a sinking ship. In the years that followed, Heyerdahl was often outspoken on issues of international peace and the environment. The Tigris was crewed by eleven men: Thor Heyerdahl (Norway), Norman Baker (USA), Carlo Mauri (Italy), Yuri Senkevich (USSR), Germán Carrasco (Mexico), Hans Petter Bohn (Norway), Rashad Nazir Salim (Iraq), Norris Brock (USA), Toru Suzuki (Japan), Detlef Zoltzek (Germany), Asbjørn Damhus (Denmark).
