"Kon-Tiki" was the name of a wooden raft used by six Scandinavian scientists, led by Thor Heyerdahl, to make a 101-day journey from South America to the Polynesian Islands. The purpose of the expedition was to prove Heyerdal's theory that the Polynesian Islands were populated from the east- specifically Peru- rather than from the west (Asia) as had been the theory for hundreds of years. Heyerdahl made a study of the winds and tides in the Pacific, and by simulating conditions as closely as possible to those he theorized the Peruvians encountered, set out on the voyage.

En 1977, Thor Heyerdahl a construit un bateau en papyrus, le Tigris (le nom du Tigre en latin), dont la tâche était de démontrer que des contacts commerciaux et migratoires pouvaient exister entre la Mésopotamie et la civilisation indienne représentée par le Pakistan moderne. Le Tigris a été construit en Irak et a mis les voiles avec un équipage international de 11 personnes à bord à travers le golfe Persique jusqu'au Pakistan, et de là jusqu'à la mer Rouge. Après environ cinq mois de navigation, le Tigris, qui a conservé sa navigabilité, est incendié à Djibouti le 3 avril 1978 en signe de protestation contre les guerres qui éclatent en mer Rouge et dans la Corne de l'Afrique.
