“Culturally, it's so important because a lot of experiences are just the same all over the world. Hotels, theaters, cinemas, music—it's so mainstream today that we all consume pretty much the same thing. But culinary-wise, there's still this chance to create and cook something that's so local on the level of experience that you can really understand and feel the landscape, the seasons, the culture, and the history of the country. So I'm super happy to be in that field because I think we're one of the last kinds of handcrafts that are still very present in the city.”We're in great company with Niklas Ekstedt, the Swedish Chef famously known around the world for reigniting the ancient way of cooking over fire in Scandinavia at his restaurant Ekstedt in Stockholm, where he has been recognized by The Best Chef Awards and a recipient of a Michelin Star. After an acclaimed culinary career as a young chef, Niklas found himself returning to his roots, curiously unearthing forgotten techniques and a sophisticated Scandinavian culinary heritage that challenged the Mediterranean supremacy he felt ready to challenge. What may have started as a small spark in his fire-forged restaurant ultimately created a movement where ancient methods meet modern gastronomy.In this episode, Niklas warmly welcomes us to savor a taste of this nearly lost artform, sparking our curiosity about what other ancient rituals we should unearth and giving us the courage to begin our own adventures. Top Takeaways[2:50] Amid the forests of northern Sweden, young Niklas's tastes were shaped by Sámi playmates, parents who embraced nature's bounty, and wilderness that would one day call him back to cooking by fire.[5:05] From his rural roots to culinary stardom, Niklas traveled through Chicago kitchens, befriended René Redzepi in Copenhagen, trained at legendary elBulli, then returned to Sweden where, barely into his twenties, he opened his first restaurant and was met with celebrity chef status…that is before he discovered his true flame.[9:30] In a secluded island kitchen outside Stockholm, Niklas found himself captivated by primitive cooking methods, discovering a forgotten Nordic culinary sophistication that would become the foundation of his revolutionary fire-forged restaurant.[16:05] Stepping into Ekstedt, guests embark on a primal sensory journey where crackling flames illuminate the darkness, birchwood smoke perfumes the air, and the kitchen's ancient fire elements transform seasonal Nordic ingredients into dishes that evoke both a forgotten past and an innovative future, creating an experience that transcends mere dining to become a connection with Sweden's culinary heritage.[25:20] Niklas continues to foster community through Tyge & Sessil, an intimate space celebrating hidden gem natural wines, and Hillenberg, a neighborhood brasserie where humble Scandinavian cooking creates an accessible entry point to his Nordic culinary philosophy. [28:00] See Stockholm through Niklas's eyes—travel metro stations turned art installations, discover museum treasures without spending a krona, go island hopping by boat, and embrace the Swedish “Allemansrätten” right to roam.Notable Mentions Charlie Trotter's in ChicagoNorwegian explorer & writer, Thor Heyerdahl's Kon-Tiki expeditionSkepparholmen Nacka outside Stockholm“Kardemummabullar” traditional Swedish Cardamom Buns for a daily “Fika” Alice Waters, pioneer of the “farm-to-table” movement in AmericaA Taste From AfarCookbooks by Niklas EkstedtEkstedt: The Nordic Art of Analogue Cooking Food from the FireScandinavian ClassicsHappy FoodVisit For YourselfEkstedt Website | @ekstedtrestaurant | @niklasekstedt

Da den norske etnograf og opdagelsesrejsende Thor Heyerdahl i 1956 besøgte Påskeøen, udgravede han bl.a. nogle kranier og løse knogler, som han tog med tilbage til Norge. Da Heyerdahl tog tingene med fra Påskeøen aftalte han med folket, at han ville aflevere dem tilbage. Efter næsten 70 år sker det, og én af dem, der har været ansvarlige for tilbageleveringen, er danske Mads Ravn, som er arkæolog og projektleder på repatrieringsprojektet. Han forklarer hvad det helt præcist er, der bliver leveret tilbage og sætter os ind i, hvilket folk det egentlig var, Heyerdahl mødte i 1956. DRTV og TV 2 Play satser på reality og prioriterer ikke altid nyhedsstof. Det konkluderer medieforsker Mads Møller Tommerup Andersen fra Københavns Universitet i to nye forskningsartikler. Tommerup Andersen har forsket i både danske og udenlandske streamingplatforme gennem flere år, og han mener, at politikerne overser, hvilket indhold de to streamingplatforme prioriterer. Mads Tommerup Andersen uddyber sin forskning, og vi får svar fra DR og TV 2 på, hvorfor de prioriterer reality højt på DRTV og TV 2 Play. Værter: Karen Secher og Morten Runge.

El 6 de octubre de 1914 nació Thor Heyerdahl, en la ciudad noruega de Nárvik, considerado uno de los grandes exploradores del siglo XX y quien alcanzó fama tras navegar por el Pacífico en una balsa construida por troncos.

Påskeøerne har altid været omgærdet af mystik - hvordan blev de beboet, hvordan fik de rejst de mange store stenhoveder - og hvorfor uddøde folk på Påskeøerne. Ny forskning viser, at i hvert fald en del af beboerne rent faktisk kom fra Sydamerika. Det var den tese, nordmanden Thor Heyerdahl efterprøvede, da han sejlede tømmerflåden Kon-Tiki fra Peru til Påskeøerne for at vise, at man kunne. Og nu viser forskningen, at der er sydamerikansk blod i de afdøde påskeø-boeres årer. Vi ser på Påskeøerne gennem de nye briller (og med Heyerdahls blik) i dag. Værter: Chris Pedersen og Tony Scott

Arnold, researcher of the giant in Aruba, author of "The Islands of the Giants: The Lost Race of Giants of Aruba, Bonaire, Curaçao. joins us to give new updates on her findings and to talk about the research she did of the Rapa Nui, the giants of easter Island and the amazing journey to the Isla de Pascua.  Easter Island (Rapa Nui: Rapa Nui) is an island and special territory of Chile in the southeastern Pacific Ocean, at the southeasternmost point of the Polynesian Triangle in Oceania. The island is most famous for its nearly 1,000 extant monumental statues, called moai, which were created by the early Rapa Nui people. In 1995, UNESCO named Easter Island a World Heritage Site, with much of the island protected within Rapa Nui National Park. Experts disagree on when the island's Polynesian inhabitants first reached the island. While many in the research community cited evidence that they arrived around the year 800, a 2007 study found compelling evidence that they arrived closer to 1200. The inhabitants created a thriving and industrious culture, as evidenced by the island's numerous enormous stone moai and other artifacts. But land clearing for cultivation and the introduction of the Polynesian rat led to gradual deforestation. By the time of European arrival in 1722, the island's population was estimated to be 2,000 to 3,000. European diseases, Peruvian slave raiding expeditions in the 1860s, and emigration to other islands such as Tahiti further depleted the population, reducing it to a low of 111 native inhabitants in 1877. Chile annexed Easter Island in 1888. In 1966, the Rapa Nui were granted Chilean citizenship. In 2007 the island gained the constitutional status of "special territory" (Spanish: territorio especial). Administratively, it belongs to the Valparaíso Region, constituting a single commune (Isla de Pascua) of the Province of Isla de Pascua. The 2017 Chilean census registered 7,750 people on the island, of whom 3,512 (45%) considered themselves Rapa Nui. Easter Island is one of the world's remotest inhabited islands.[8] The nearest inhabited land (around 50 residents in 2013) is Pitcairn Island, 2,075 kilometres (1,289 mi) away; the nearest town with a population over 500 is Rikitea, on the island of Mangareva, 2,606 km (1,619 mi) away; the nearest continental point lies in central Chile, 3,512 km (2,182 mi) away. Etymology   The name "Easter Island" was given by the island's first recorded European visitor, the Dutch explorer Jacob Roggeveen, who encountered it on Easter Sunday (5 April), 1722, while searching for "Davis Land".[10] Roggeveen named it Paasch-Eyland (18th-century Dutch for "Easter Island"). The island's official Spanish name, Isla de Pascua, also means "Easter Island". The current Polynesian name of the island, Rapa Nui ("Big Rapa"), was coined after the slave raids of the early 1860s, and refers to the island's topographic resemblance to the island of Rapa in the Bass Islands of the Austral Islands group. Norwegian ethnographer Thor Heyerdahl argued that Rapa was Easter Island's original name and that the Bass Islands' Rapa (Rapa Iti) was named by refugees from it. The phrase Te pito o te henua has been said to be the island's original name since French ethnologist Alphonse Pinart gave it the romantic translation "the Navel of the World" in his Voyage à l'Île de Pâques, published in 1877.[15] William Churchill (1912) inquired about the phrase and was told that there were three te pito o te henua, these being the three capes (land's ends) of the island. The phrase appears to have been used in the same sense as the designation "Land's End" at the tip of Cornwall. He was unable to elicit a Polynesian name for the island and concluded that there may not have been one.  

On this throwback episode we revisit Episode #14 from Season One of the podcast. The Pacific Ocean is the most expansive body of water on planet earth. Despite this fact ancient people managed to venture forth into its immensity and create a civilization of incredible sophistication. The question of how the ancients managed to settle the Pacific perplexed academics for generations. This left the door open for some pretty wild theories about the origins of the Polynesians. Chief among these theorists was the Norwegian adventurer Thor Heyerdahl . Heyerdahl's audacious stunts would make the world question the conventional wisdom on the Polynesians. But should his theories be trusted? Tune in and find out how stone giants, Gilligan's Island, and the last cannibal on Fatu Hiva all play a role in the story.

“Let the same mind be in you that was in Christ Jesus… for it is God who is at work in you” (Phil. 2). Grace Cathedral, San Francisco, CA | 2D68 | St. Francis Day - 18 Pentecost (Proper 21A) 11:00 a.m. Eucharist | St. Francis Day Pet Blessing                           Exodus 17:1-7 Psalm 148:7-14 Philippians 2:1-13 Matthew 21:23-32 How do you listen to your soul? How can you hear God's invitation to change your mind? Brené Brown writes about the difference between fitting in and belonging. All of us know what it means to fit in, to try to change essential parts of ourselves so that we will be accepted by others.   Belonging refers to a very different experience. It means learning to “be present with people without sacrificing who we are.” [i] It requires vulnerability and it happens in those rare places where we can really be who we are without pretending. It's one of our highest ideals at Grace Cathedral. Regardless of where we came from, what we may have done in the past, or whatever we believe now, we belong here.   Last Sunday the Hawaiian voyaging canoe Hōkūle'a, arrived at Aquatic Park in San Francisco after a dangerous journey. In the overflowing amphitheater we saw musicians and dancers; we heard prayers and proclamations from Native peoples from across the vast Pacific Ocean. I wish I could express the feeling of joy and celebration that we all shared together.   People describe Nainoa Thompson, the president of the Polynesian Voyaging Society as a Native Hawaiian master navigator but far more importantly he is one of the most significant storytellers of our time. On Tuesday night he talked about the world he was born into. In 1926 the Hawaiian culture and language were outlawed. By the 1970's there were fewer than one hundred people who could speak Hawaiian fluently and they were mostly advanced in age.   Hawaiians had lost so much – their land, sovereignty, language, religion, culture, music, art and even sports and pastimes. It no longer felt like they belonged in their own homeland. In 1948 the Norwegian writer Thor Heyerdahl published a book called The Kontiki Expedition: By Raft Across the South Seas. For many Hawaiians the book's unspoken thesis was that Pacific Islanders could never have had the skill to build canoes and navigate them at will through the Pacific, but instead only arrived in Hawaii by luck on giant rafts setting out from South America.   And so in the 1970's a group of Hawaiians sought out the last remaining navigators (Mau Pialug) and re-learned the practices of their ancestors. They built the Hōkūle'a and in 1976 they successfully traveled to Tahiti. They were utterly surprised when 17,000 people met them on their arrival in Papeete. The mood was ecstatic. The world began to see how they belonged.   But then came the fateful voyage of 1978. Unprotected in a massive storm, stacking waves overturned the canoe. One of the hulls had filled water and the entire crew sat on the remaining upturned hull at midnight getting periodically washed off by waves barely able to hear the next person over because the winds.   The legendary lifeguard Eddie Aikau began to paddle his surfboard for help into the white water of the gale. Nainoa swam over and was the last person ever to speak to him. Later the rest of the crew was miraculously rescued. Back onshore Nainoa witnessed the terrible grief of Eddie's parents. He heard Eddie's mother wailing. After all hope was lost he saw Eddie's father implore everyone to call off the search for his son. For a while fear overtook him and Nainoa lost faith in his calling.   In the most pivotal moment of his life Nainoa's father came to meet with him. They talked about values, about supporting the community and most of all about the destination – not of a particular voyage, or even of his own life, but of the Hawaiian people. Nainoa had to ask himself if he was ready to be changed.   2. When the religious authorities fault Jesus for befriending tax collectors and prostitutes, he tells the story of a father who independently asks each of his two sons to work in the vineyard. The first says no, but changes his mind later and works. The second says, yes but does not follow through. The strict answer is that neither fully did the will of his father (that would have been to say yes and go). But the one who comes closest is the one who actually does the work. And for Jesus that means the sinners will enter heaven before religious leaders.   We may be familiar with the Greek word metanoia which means changing one's mind and is frequently translated as repentance. But this is different. The word here is metamelomai. More literally it means to change one's “cares,” to change what we consider important. It implies a kind of regret or remorse. Jesus says that obvious sinners have this in a way that the religious leaders do not. Understanding how we have fallen short makes us more willing to change our minds.   Today we celebrate the Feast of St. Francis. Living off the riches of his father Francis had a reputation as spoiled but also for putting on great parties. For a while he tried to be a soldier. A serious illnesses in his early twenties made him wonder if he had to change. He dragged his feet, but then began spending time in the ruined church of San Damiano. One day he heard a voice coming from the cross. It said, “Go hence, now, Francis, and build my church, for it is nearly falling down.” He took this instruction literally and within two years had rebuilt three churches that had been falling apart.   Francis cared for impoverished people and became poor himself. He founded a movement of monks. He wrote songs. He attained notoriety for preaching to birds and to human beings. Some say that in the eight centuries since his death no one has more closely approximated the ideal that Jesus teaches.   The twentieth century writer G.K. Chesterton writes that one could never anticipate what Francis would do next. But once Francis did something, all you could say was, “Ah, how like him!” Brother Masseo once approached Francis and asked why the world followed him so ardently, when he didn't seem especially smart, beautiful or wealthy. A friend of mine thinks it is because that while Francis chose, “a life of intense and prayerful austerity,” unlike many other saints he made being a child of God seem fun. [ii] He said, “rejoice always,” both in words and how he lived. [iii]   The most famous prayer attributed to Francis is “Oh Lord let me be an instrument of thy will.” Francis lived by emptying himself out so that God could be a continually growing part of his life. Francis told Masseo that God had chosen him precisely because he was the greatest sinner and that this reminded everyone that all good comes only from God. [iv] Emptying out his ego Francis saw a world filled with God. All people, all animals and birds, even the sun, moon, water and fire became his family. When we empty ourselves of ego nothing lies outside of the spiritual life.   So today we remember and celebrate this remarkable figure by blessing the animals we love. Over the years I have blessed dogs, cats, turtles, geese, chickens, lizards, gerbils, hamsters, mice, etc. We will also pray for the wild animals around us: the pelicans, coyotes, whales, seals, dolphins, sea lions, salmon, hammer-head sharks, red-tailed hawks, racoons, squirrels, and butterflies too. It is a wonderful to live in a city dedicated to a person who we remember by trying to be particularly kind to animals, by in our awkward way blessing them and recognizing all the ways that they bless us. In our lifetime an uncountable number of species will be lost forever because of human activity. I have a dream that one day we will truly care for the other creatures and learn to better understand them.   Nainoa says that all storms come in pairs. When the storm hits, take your place at the helm and face into it. Be humble, pay respect, and stay with it. The second storm is the one inside of us. It is the storm of emotions. In that storm when we are tempted by hopelessness we can choose the way of faith. With God's grace we can decide to be courageous. That is what Nainoa Thompson did.   By the end of the 1960's after generations of being forced to fit in, a Hawaiian Renaissance in politics, art and culture began to truly unfold. We see many signs of its success. Today there are 22,500 fluent speakers of the Hawaiian language. The Hōkūle'a has been an indispensable part of an extraordinary transformation.   In the beginning I imagine Nainoa may have thought he was just building a canoe, but really what he was doing was building up a culture, a people, a promise that we can all belong. And this has grown into something even more powerful. Today the Hōkūle'a sails to unify all native peoples and to share a message, that human beings will never thrive unless the oceans do too.   How do you listen to your soul? How can you hear God's invitation to change your mind? Nainoa Thompson and St. Francis were open to being changed by God. They learned to be humble. They dared to imagine a future when all species will be valued and preserved. May each of us conquer our ego and become an instrument of God. May we belong and our life be a blessing to the whole family of God's creatures.

If ever there was a need for a single definition of the novel's function, it may well be to establish an architecture around characters that leads them directly to unique moral quandaries. These shorts of choices are ultimately what drives some of the greatest novels.  And what better framework than war to create situations that lead characters towards real perplexity? After all, it consists of two sides fighting for what both believe to be right, with outcomes involving ruin, destruction and death.  Now throw in the fact that the novel may or may not be based on true events, perhaps embellished by the novelist's pen but ultimately rooted in history, and you find that the membrane between fact and fiction becomes very porous indeed. My guest today is the novelist James MacManus who is a former journalist, a correspondent for the Guardian in Africa and the Middle East. Currently, he's also the Managing Director of The TLS (The Times Literary Supplement), an august weekly literary review. During his time in Africa, he covered the Zimbabwe War for Independence, and his sixth novel “Love in a Lost Land”, is based on these experiences in Rhodesia, now Zimbabwe, at a time of guerrilla warfare. It's a very authentic read which looks at both sides of the conflict and features a love story that bridges those factions. The setting brings to life the work of a journalist in a perilous environment and the plot created moral quandaries that were reminiscent, to me, of Graham Greene novels.

The Kon-Tiki expedition, led by Norwegian explorer and ethnologist Thor Heyerdahl, reached Raroia in the Tuamotu Archipelag near Tahiti, on 7th August, 1947. The 45-foot-long balsa wood raft, with a five-man crew, had completed a 4,300-mile, 101-day journey from Peru.  Heyerdahl wanted to prove his (now discredited) theory that prehistoric South Americans could have colonized the Polynesian islands by drifting on ocean currents. The Kon-Tiki was made of indigenous materials and designed to resemble rafts of early South American Indians, although the expedition carried some modern equipment, such as a radio, watches, charts, sextant, and metal knives. While crossing the Pacific, the sailors encountered storms, sharks and whales. In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly explain why Heyerdahl's hypothesis of a South American origin of the Polynesian peoples is rejected today; marvel at his bold use of eye-catching graphic design; and expose how the crew's food rations weren't all that they seemed… Further Reading: • ‘New proof for Kon-Tiki theory' (The Guardian, 1953): https://www.theguardian.com/travel/2018/may/18/new-kon-tiki-proof-expedition-archive-1953 • ‘How the Voyage of the Kon-Tiki Misled the World About Navigating the Pacific' (Smithsonian Magazine, 2014): https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smithsonian-institution/how-voyage-kon-tiki-misled-world-about-navigating-pacific-180952478/ • ‘KonTiki (short)' (The Kon-Tiki Museum, 1951):  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BFcW-dCvO2A #40s #Strange #Explorer #Norway #Peru #Racism Love the show?

In 1947 a Norwegian became curious if it was possible for the natives of South America to have drifted on a raft 4,300 miles across the Pacific ocean to populate the islands of Polynesia.The question of who populated Polynesia wasn't really important to anyone but Thor Heyerdahl.He opened his bestselling book in 1950 with these words,“Once in a while you find yourself in an odd situation. You get into it by degrees and in the most natural way but, when you are right in the midst of it, you are suddenly astonished and ask yourself how in the world it all came about. If, for example, you put to sea on a wooden raft with a parrot and five companions, it is inevitable that sooner or later you will wake up one morning out at sea, perhaps a little better rested than ordinarily, and begin to think about it. On one such morning I sat writing in a dew-drenched logbook…”DNA evidence later proved Heyerdahl's theory to be incorrect. Today we know for certain that Polynesia was not populated by South Americans, but by Asians.But I still like Thor Heyerdahl. He wanted to know if South Americans could have made that journey, so he built a raft using only the tools and materials available in prehistoric times, pushed away from the soft safety of the shore, and had himself a wonderful adventure.We don't do that sort of thing anymore, but I wish we did.We no longer set out to experience – with an open mind – the lives of persons who are different than us. We are no longer willing “to walk a mile in their shoes” so that we might better understand them. What we do instead is look for evidence that our own perspective is correct and that all the others are wrong. We are assisted in this unholy endeavor by algorithms on the internet and one-sided news organizations that tell us exactly what we want to hear.I like Thor Heyerdahl and I like John Howard Griffin.Like me, John Howard Griffin was born in Dallas, Texas, but he got there 38 years before I arrived.Two years before America entered World War II, 19-year-old John Howard Griffin joined the French Resistance as a medic and helped smuggle Austrian Jews to safety and freedom in England. When America officially entered that war, Griffin served the United States Army in the South Pacific where he was decorated for bravery.Keep that characteristic in mind: bravery.While serving in the Solomon islands, Griffin contracted spinal malaria that left him temporarily paraplegic. And then the concussion of a Japanese bomb caused him to become blind. Eleven years later, in 1957, his eyesight inexplicably returned and that's when the real adventure began.America was now at war with itself. The battle over civil rights was a whistling teapot on a fiery stove, so John Howard Griffin shaved his head in order to hide his straight hair, took large doses of Oxsoralen in 1959 to darken his skin, then spent six weeks traveling as a black man in the Deep South. He started in new New Orleans, then visited Mississippi, South Carolina, and Georgia, getting around mainly by hitchhiking.When I was young, I read John Howard Griffin's book about his experiences as a black man, and it felt to me like an honest and straightforward diary. A lot of other people felt differently, of course, so the Ku Klux Klan beat him nearly to death in 1975.And so it goes.*Evidently, it is safer to drift 4,300 miles across the Pacific in a prehistoric raft than it is to talk about race in America.Roy H.

In this episode Chris brings us a bit of Opinion Scholarship on a recurring theme in world mythology--that of the War of the Gods. He discusses the strange idea of two distinct races of gods that come into conflict with one another. The ancient Greeks have the Titans and Olympians, the Bible has it's Angels and Demons, Zoroastrianism has Ahura Mazda and Ahriman and the Hindu's have the Devas and Asuras. The one left out of this list, comes from the Scandinavian north, from the Norse--the Aesir and Vanir--and this makes up the meat of the discussion. We examine the 21st century ethnographer--Thor Heyerdahl--and his theory surrounding the origin of the Norse in Azerbaijan, Odin as a historical person and the "war of the gods" as a battle between waring tribes. Enjoy ;)

In 1947, a Norwegian adventurer named Thor Heyerdahl set out to prove a theory of his that the people of Polynesia came there from South America. To prove his theory, he built a raft out of local materials in Peru and set sail across the Pacific. His voyage was successful, but the same couldn't be said for his theories.  Learn more about Thor Heyerdahl and the Kon-Tiki Expedition on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Are you ready to uncover the secret code to Alien navigation? Or are the evidence just historical sites that are being misinterpreted?In Digging up Ancient Aliens, our host Fredrik uses his background in archaeology to discover what is genuine, fake, and somewhere in between on the TV show Ancient Aliens.This time we're investigating the claim that different lines and grids cross the earth with strange powers. According to the believers, these grids were used by the Ancient Aliens to navigate, and in some of the locations, power stations were built. So, is there any truth in this? Let's examine this with a bit of skepticism and science.First, we start by trying to locate what some call the World Grid, Planetary Grid, or Earth Energy Grid. Some propose that Plato first discovered this. Is this true, or was the philosopher talking about something else?Then we go to Ireland and the Newgrange Mound. Could this monument hold alien alignments that the Neolithic people of Ireland could not have known?Then we investigate Ley Lines, Viking forts, and if the Vikings could have traveled not by sea. But by air. Lastly, we will look into Thor Heyerdahl and ask ourselves what harm pseudoscience can cause and what other ideas it can inspire.

Empujado por un irrefrenable afán investigador, el arqueólogo Thor Heyerdahl emprendió una de las travesías más peligrosas y memorables de la historia de la navegación. Al mando de otros cinco escandinavos zarpó del puerto peruano del Callao a bordo de la Kon-Tiki, una balsa de troncos construida al estilo de los pueblos prehispánicos. Quería probar su teoría sobre los habitantes de la Polinesia; a diferencia de la corriente académica mayoritaria, que les atribuye un origen asiático, Heyerdahl sostenía que la especie humana llegó a vela desde el sur de América gracias a los vientos alisios. El 7 de agosto de 1947, 101 días después de su partida, la Kon-Tiki alcanzó la costa oriental de Raroia, uno de los atolones del archipiélago de las Tuamotu. La experiencia quedó plasmada en un clásico de la literatura de viajes y una película documental galardonada con un Óscar. Tres cuartos de siglo después de la gesta, seguimos su estela en compañía del antropólogo David Valcárcel, director científico del Parque Etnográfico Pirámides de Güímar, institución fundada por el propio Thor Heyerdahl en Tenerife, donde pasó sus últimos diez años de vida. Allí sigue residiendo su viuda, Jacqueline Beer, que nos ayuda a recomponer la biografía de este etnógrafo y explorador. Con el historiador y divulgador Germán Loedel recordamos los momentos claves de la expedición antes de retratar el presente de Raroia junto al escritor y viajero Jordi Canal-Soler. Antes de despedirnos de la Polinesia Francesa nos acercamos, de la mano del veterinario Óscar Martín y el instructor de buceo Martín Márquez, a otras islas del grupo de las Tuamotu como Rangiroa, Makatea o Fakarava.

Greg, Todd and myself get together for another episode of the Five Heart Podcast. The longest podcast episode EVER. This is my fault for bringing up Thor Heyerdahl and Kontiki. In this episode we cover: The latest transfers in football - Stephon Wynn Jr. and Marcus Washington and how they fit into Nebraska's football team. Baseball transfers - five players have already entered the transfer portal. Lat Mayen not returning to Nebraska basketball. Then there's Husker traditions. Greg has a list of Husker traditions; we discuss whether we'd keep them or not and what adjustments we'd make. Did you know that years ago Husker fans threw oranges on the field? No? Well, they did. They threw oranges in the end zones every time we scored to symbolize our desire to get to the Orange Bowl, the most prized season-end destination for years. Then one day that tradition ended. ENDED. The 1982 Nebraska - Oklahoma game was very cold. The oranges people had became frozen. Someone threw a frozen orange that struck an official in the back of the head, permanently disabling him. That tradition ended right there. No one shit themselves about it. Why? Because it was a pretty stupid tradition. The Tunnel Walk tradition began in 1994. It just started. Husker fans accepted it rather quickly and it became a great way to recognize that the team was coming on the field so you'd better get your ass in your seat to see the opening kickoff. No one shit themselves about it. Do you know why? Because nobody can remember what we did before the Tunnel Walk to recognize the team coming onto the field. It was a good idea. Now we have the balloon tradition going away. Many people are shitting themselves. Do you know why? I don't either. Apparently they'd like to keep a tradition where we pump shit tons of litter into the air and don't give a damn about where it ends up. Anyway, give it a listen. IF YOU DARE.

Bent Hamer, Pål Sverre Hagen and Face2Face host David Peck talk about their new film The Middle Man, precise poetic comedy, empathy and philosophy, existential angst, satire and rich literary material, and why humour is a way through which we can begin to understand each other.TrailerSynopsis:The Middle Man is a darkly humorous social satire which takes place in a small town that is experiencing an epidemic of accidents and deaths. The town is run by “The Commission” - the Sheriff, the Doctor and the Pastor - who decide to hire a ‘Middle Man' whose sole responsibility will be to inform the family when an unfortunate incident occurs.Frank Farrelli is a quiet, thoughtful man who proves perfect for the job. He takes his new role on with gusto and quickly becomes the town's beacon of bad news. But the pressures of the job and a budding new romance overwhelm Frank. To ease his burden, he calls in a ‘favour' that ends up in a horrifying yet oddly amusing murder.About Bent & Pål: Bent Hamer is a Norwegian director, writer, producer and owner of the film production company BulBul Film. After studying law at The University of Oslo he worked for some years as sailboat skipper abroad before he completed his education in Film Theory and Literature at the University of Stockholm, and in film making at Stockholms Filmskola. Bent's feature films include the award winning O'Horten Factotum, Kitchen Stories and Eggs which all had their international premiere at Cannes International Film Festival. 1001 Grams, O'Horten, and Kitchen Stories were Norway's entry for The Academy Award.

================================================== ==SUSCRIBETEhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNpffyr-7_zP1x1lS89ByaQ?sub_confirmation=1================================================== == DEVOCIÓN MATUTINA PARA ADOLESCENTES 2022“UN SALTO EN EL TIEMPO”Narrado por: DORIANY SÁNCHEZDesde: PERÚUna cortesía de DR'Ministries y Canaan Seventh-Day Adventist Church  17 DE MAYOII AR«¡Mirad a mí y sed salvos, todos los términos de la tierra, porque yo soy Dios, y no hay otro!» (Isaías 45:22, R195).¿Te has preguntado alguna vez cómo se cruzaron los océanos en la antigüedad? ¿Cómo llegaron a Hawái sus primeros habitantes? ¿Cómo llegaron a Australia sus habitantes originales? ¿Cómo se transportaron los pueblos antiguos desde África hasta el Nuevo Mundo? ¿Navegaron en barcos largos y elegantes como los fenicios, o en barcos con largas filas de remos como los romanos, o en barcos largos, anchos e inclinados con cabezas de monstruos en la proa como los vikingos?En la década de 1930, el mundialmente conocido explorador y arqueólogo Thor Heyerdahl probablemente responda estas preguntas. Observó claras similitudes entre los pueblos mediterráneos y las civilizaciones de América Central y del Sur, como la afición a construir pirámides, e hizo audaces afirmaciones sobre cómo los antiguos emigraron a nuevas tierras a través de vastas extensiones de océano.En 1947, Heyerdahl puso a prueba su impopular teoría de que los primeros seres humanos que llegaron a la Polinesia habían navegado por el Océano Pacífico desde Perú en balsas prehistóricas hechas de madera de balsa. Con la esperanza de demostrar que los escépticos estaban equivocados, construyó una balsa de este tipo, la llamó Kon-Tiki, y completó el viaje de 7000 kilómetros (14.300 millas) en solo 101 días. Pero ¿cómo llegaron los antiguos humanos al hemisferio occidental por primera vez?El 17 de mayo de 1970, Thor y una tripulación formada por seis noruegos y un sueco zarparon para demostrar su teoría de que los antiguos viajeros cruzaron el vasto Océano Atlántico, no en embarcaciones comunes, sino en botes de caña hechos de papel, como los que habían flotado en el Nilo durante siglos. Los científicos contemporáneos se burlaron de esta teoría, argumentando que los juncos se anegarían tras menos de dos semanas en el mar, pero con la ayuda de aymaras constructores de barcos, él construyó una réplica de 12 metros (39 pies) de una antigua embarcación egipcia de papiro, la llamó Ra II, y llegó con éxito al hemisferio occidental cruzando la parte más ancha del océano Atlántico en 57 días.Desde el principio de los tiempos, el pueblo de Dios ha ido a lugares lejanos para llevar a cabo el evangelio al mundo. Algunos iban a pie y otros probablemente en camellos o caballos. Sin duda, muchos tomaron barcos como los que construyeron Thor Heyerdahl. Algún día, en el cielo, cuando alguien pregunte cómo llegó el evangelio desde tu pueblo hasta los confines de la tierra, ¿no te gustaría tener tu propia historia de viaje para contar?
