FunTranscript
00:00The story begins in the 1930s in a village in Norway.
00:03We see some children playing, and amidst their games, they spot a saw resting on a block
00:07of ice.
00:08But there was water all around it.
00:09All the children were afraid to go there, but a boy named Thor showed courage and walked
00:14over to it and picked up the saw.
00:15But on his way back, the ice broke, and he fell into the freezing water.
00:19If he had stayed inside for even a little longer, he might have died, but his friends
00:23pulled him out just in time.
00:24When he went home, he received a heavy scolding.
00:26His father explained to him that if he had stayed in the water a bit longer, he would
00:30have died, saying,
00:31This must have taught you a lesson that you should never take risks in life.
00:35Promise me, you won't do this again.
00:37Thor had no answer to this, and he just lay there silently.
00:40Time passed, and Thor is now an adult.
00:43Professionally, he is an ethnographer.
00:45His job is to go to different remote places or islands in the world where no one has been
00:49before and gather information about the people living there, where they came from, and what
00:53they do.
00:54In this work, his girlfriend also supports him.
00:56At this time, he is staying on an island in Polynesia where he has become good friends
01:00with the people living there.
01:01One day, Thor and his girlfriend are sitting with an elderly man.
01:05He asks him, Where did you people come from?
01:07The old man replies that they were brought here by Tiki, the son of the sun god, who is
01:11their ancestor.
01:12He is the one who brought them to this island.
01:14That place is on the other side of the ocean.
01:16After this, the old man points toward the east and says, They came from there.
01:20Seeing this, Thor was surprised.
01:22The old man then says, Everything in the world comes from the east, whether it is lightning,
01:27the sun, or the wind.
01:28Everything is.
01:29After this, the old man takes them into the middle of the jungle where the statue of the
01:33son of god was.
01:35That old man felt his ancestors came from South America, just as his ancestors had told him.
01:39But if we go by books and historians, these people came from Asia.
01:43This very thought forces Thor to wonder what the truth actually is.
01:47Time is moving on to 1946, but Thor cannot get the old man's words out of his mind.
01:52He has spent ten years on this research, and the answer is that yes, the words of that old
01:56man were true.
01:57His ancestors did come from South America.
01:59He has written many theories about this, and he goes to a publisher with them, but the
02:03publisher flatly refuses to publish his book.
02:06His argument was that all your theories are wrong, because 1,500 years ago, the people of
02:12South America did not have any such things to sit on and cross the entire ocean to reach
02:17the islands of Polynesia.
02:19But the people of Asia had such boats at that time, and with their help, they could do this.
02:24So the truth is that those people came from Asia.
02:27Thor says, this is wrong.
02:29Their ancestors came from South America on a raft.
02:31Hearing this, the publisher laughs and says, okay, if you feel that way, then do one thing.
02:37Build a raft and cross the entire ocean from South America to that island.
02:41And yes, do not use any technology.
02:43If you are successful in doing this, I will publish your book.
02:46Doing this seems impossible because this journey is 8,000 kilometers long.
02:50Even large ships go missing on this journey.
02:52So how could such a journey be completed on a small raft?
02:56But Thor will not let his ten years of hard work go to waste, so he says yes, and goes
03:00to look for funding for this voyage.
03:02First, he meets a magazine owner and tells him, I am going to travel from Peru to the islands
03:07of Polynesia on a raft, and that raft will be exactly the same as the one people used
03:121,500 years ago.
03:14The owner says, we never fund suicide missions.
03:18His argument was also clearly that those people came from Asia, not America.
03:22So Thor says, this is wrong.
03:24Long before Columbus arrived in America, these people had already gone to that island.
03:28Now, from here, he goes straight to a bar where some fishermen were, who were constantly
03:33traveling through the ocean routes.
03:34He shows those people a sketch of a raft and says, this is called the Contiki.
03:38I am going to travel from Peru to Polynesia on this, which is an 8,000 kilometer journey.
03:44Does anyone among you want to accompany me on this journey?
03:46Then a man says, I have been in the Atlantic Ocean for 22 days, but I was on a raft
03:51made
03:51with modern things, not ropes.
03:54You won't be able to go even a short distance on the raft you are talking about.
03:57Why are you trying to lose your life?
03:59What you are thinking is impossible.
04:01Either you change the design of your raft or change your decision.
04:04The rest is your choice.
04:05Thor did not agree with their words, so he comes out of the bar.
04:09A man named Hermann was listening to these words very carefully.
04:12He comes out of the bar and meets him.
04:14He was an engineer by profession.
04:16He says, I heard your words, I am ready to go with you.
04:18Thor is thoughtful for a moment and asks him again if he is really ready to go with him
04:22or if he is joking.
04:23He says, yes, this is my final decision.
04:26In this way, he gets his first companion.
04:28Now he tells this news to his wife, who used to be his girlfriend.
04:32He says to her, I won't be home this Christmas because I am going from Peru to Polynesia
04:35on a raft that I will build myself.
04:37Hearing this, she gets a little scared and asks him not to do it.
04:41But Thor says, if I don't do this, I will keep cursing myself for the rest of my life.
04:46Ten years of my life have gone into this.
04:48I have to do this.
04:50After hearing all this, his wife says, you don't even know how to swim.
04:53But he gives no answer and puts the phone down.
04:56Now Thor reaches Peru with Hermann, where ten people were present who were acquaintances
05:00of Hermann.
05:01And these people were also ready to go with Thor.
05:03With this, there are five people in his team.
05:06Now he shows them the structure that was the raft of 1,500 years ago.
05:10They have to build this raft the same way without using any technology.
05:14Now here, Thor had to do the last job, which was funding.
05:16For this, he goes to a wealthy man who used to live in Peru.
05:19He tells him, I want to prove that the people who live on that island are from here, from
05:23our country, and not from Asia.
05:25Hearing this, the man is surprised, and he bows to Thor's passion and says yes to the funding.
05:30Slowly, this news spreads like wildfire that some people are going to travel from Peru
05:35to Polynesia on a raft.
05:36In this connection, one day an ethnographer comes to meet Thor, who goes to different places
05:40and discovers their culture.
05:42That man also wants to go with Thor and make a documentary about him.
05:45And now he has found another companion.
05:47Now their team becomes six people, but taking so many people on a small boat is not easy.
05:52And along with it, there is also the need for food for so many people.
05:56Well, we will get to know later whether these people are able to reach or if their journey
06:00will end in the middle.
06:01After this, all the people get engaged in building the raft.
06:04After months of hard work, they finally build a raft in the same way it was built 1,500 years
06:09ago.
06:10Before leaving, Thor calls his wife.
06:12She gets a little emotional and says that the children have sent a good luck.
06:15Thor also understands her situation and says that if I complete this journey, we won't
06:19have to struggle anymore.
06:20And says goodbye to her, for the last time.
06:23Now, April 28th, 1947, the day comes when these six people are about to leave Peru.
06:28But here, the people of the whole city have come to see them off and boost their morale,
06:32because no one has done such a thing to date, nor has anyone thought of it.
06:36So this is quite new for them.
06:38All the people say goodbye.
06:39As the raft was leaving the land, only these thoughts were coming into Thor's mind.
06:44Will he survive on this journey?
06:46Is the decision he made right or wrong?
06:48But he decides in the end, and he leaves with his whole team.
06:51These people have kept a radio with them so that they can hear news from the outside and
06:56tell them about their own condition.
06:57Along with them, there is also a helping boat that will be useful in case of trouble.
07:02Now the journey starts.
07:03And on the first day, these people eat the food they brought with them and rest a little.
07:08But one night, the weather's not good.
07:10What these people feared happens.
07:11A sea storm starts.
07:13Heavy rain begins, in which the whole raft starts becoming unbalanced, and Thor falls into
07:18the water.
07:18He doesn't even know how to swim, but somehow his friends pull him up.
07:23Today, his luck was good that he survived.
07:25If he had come on this journey alone, today would have been his last day.
07:29Now, because of this accident, everyone on the boat is very scared.
07:33For the first time, they realize how dangerous this journey is.
07:36After some time, the rain stops.
07:38But the next day, when Thor sees the condition of the raft, he is surprised.
07:42Due to the storm, the entire raft had become ruined.
07:44Herman and his friend fix the boat, but he sees that because of the water on the bottom logs,
07:48it has started getting damaged.
07:50But he does not tell this to anyone, so that the rest of the people don't get scared.
07:53On the other side, Thor sees that the radio is not working, and the reason for this was
07:58a parrot who had cut the radio wire, and this parrot was one of their companions.
08:02Now these people had only one way to talk to the outside world, but now that is also
08:06gone.
08:07But here, the troubles do not end.
08:09We should not forget that where they are standing, it is an ocean in which whales and
08:14sharks rule, which can swallow them and their raft in one go.
08:18Well, now time slowly starts passing.
08:20Here, one man also has a 1,500 year old map, with the help of which these people move forward,
08:26and at this time, they are on the right path.
08:29Now, one day, Herman sees a shark far away, which looked quite huge, but it was far away
08:34from these people, so they don't need to fear.
08:36But it doesn't happen.
08:37And just then, another shark passes from under their raft, due to which Herman gets very scared,
08:43and goes to hit that shark with a weapon.
08:45Thor stops him from doing so, but he doesn't listen, and attacks the shark.
08:49Now, a rope was tied to that weapon, which was tied to the raft.
08:52As the shark goes down, the rope starts getting pulled, due to which the raft also starts going
08:57down.
08:57All the people standing on top of it are about to fall into the water when the weapon comes
09:02out of the shark, and the raft becomes stable once again.
09:05Because of this mistake, everyone present on the raft scolds Herman a lot, because everyone
09:09was going to die today because of him.
09:11But Thor stops them from doing so, because doing so will increase enmity on the raft,
09:16and they need unity and support right now.
09:19He tells everyone to stay calm.
09:21Now, in this way, 25 days pass.
09:23These people start running short of food, and along with this, their radio has also stopped
09:27working.
09:28The condition of all the people also starts getting worse, but amidst this, Herman's mental
09:32condition starts deteriorating.
09:34He started feeling that now, all the ropes on this raft would open, which would cause them
09:39all to drown.
09:40He starts remembering the words of the man in that bar that we people will not be able
09:44to stay on this boat for many days.
09:46One day that ethnographer, whose name is Sam, goes away from the safety boat so that he can
09:51take photos of those people, which he can sell to the news people later.
09:54But amidst this, some sharks come there, and start roaming around his boat, which Thor sees,
09:59and everyone immediately pulls his boat, which saves his life.
10:03Otherwise, he would have become prey to the shark today.
10:06After this, the parrot on the boat mistakenly goes into the water, and the shark takes advantage
10:11of this, and eats it.
10:12Charlie goes into shock seeing his parrot die in front of him, and he gets so angry that
10:17he grabs the shark's tail and pulls it and throws it onto the boat, after which he kills
10:21it with a knife and tears open its stomach so that he can get the parrot.
10:24But that doesn't happen.
10:25Instead, this is going to prove to be his biggest mistake.
10:28The blood of that shark spreads in the whole ocean, due to the smell of which other sharks
10:32also come near these people, which can attack them at any time.
10:36Seeing all this, Hermann gets very scared.
10:38So he brings a box in which he had kept some steel wires.
10:41He says to Thor,
10:42We now have only one option.
10:44Somehow we have to tie these wires to these sharks, so that we can move forward.
10:48But Thor refuses, saying that we will not use any technology.
10:51We will go the same way as people did 1,500 years ago.
10:55Saying this, he throws those wires into the water.
10:58Seeing this, Hermann loses his control.
11:00He starts feeling that now they will not survive.
11:02And just then, his foot slips and he goes into the mouth of death.
11:05Sharks were roaming all around him like death.
11:07But his companions throw a rope and save him.
11:09On his return, everyone breathes a sigh of relief.
11:12He apologizes to everyone for his mistake and asks everyone to stay together and complete this journey.
11:17Slowly, 60 days pass.
11:18The atmosphere on the raft had started getting bad.
11:21Everyone's mental and physical condition had become very bad.
11:25And the biggest problem was that they didn't know which path they were going on.
11:28Is this the right path or the wrong one?
11:30The man who was showing the way to them didn't know himself where they were.
11:33But after two days, he sees some paths on the map on which he pays attention.
11:37And along with it, he looks through binoculars.
11:39And he sees something.
11:40And he says to Thor,
11:42We are on the right path.
11:43We are near Polynesia.
11:44And hearing this, a wave of happiness runs through the whole ship.
11:47After 60 days, today there is a little happiness on this raft, which all the people enjoy together.
11:53But still, their destination was far away.
11:55After this, with the help of the radio, they send a signal to Peru.
11:59Their radio is now working fine.
12:01They tell everyone that we are still alive and very close to our destination.
12:05This news spreads like wildfire.
12:07Pictures of Thor and his companions start being put up everywhere.
12:11Money starts being received by their family members from the government side.
12:14News about them starts being printed in newspapers.
12:17On the other side, people are slowly coming close to Polynesia.
12:20One night, all the friends were together.
12:22Thor says,
12:23We have reached here by following the same star which was followed 1,500 years ago.
12:28It feels like we are alone in the whole world.
12:31Perhaps nature has accepted us.
12:32Today is the day.
12:34August 8, 1947.
12:35As soon as it is morning, Charlie sees a bird, seeing which all the people are very happy.
12:40Because this bird is giving a message that there is land somewhere nearby.
12:44After 101 days, one day they see an island far away, which is the island of Polynesia.
12:50The same island where their journey is about to end.
12:52But going there now is not so easy.
12:54They face the last biggest difficulty.
12:56A very big storm.
12:58These people make a calculation.
12:59Herman says that out of every 13 waves in the ocean, one is higher than the 12.
13:04So they have to keep their raft stopped in the water with the help of an anchor.
13:07So that as soon as the 13th wave comes, they can pull that anchor up.
13:11With the help of which they can reach the shore quickly.
13:13Now those people put the anchor in the water.
13:16But on the 10th wave, their rope breaks.
13:18Now they have no other option except to remember God.
13:21But he says there is victory beyond fear.
13:23God also supports the brave.
13:25Those people move forward cutting through the waves.
13:28But amidst this, Thor falls into the water.
13:30And he hears the same sounds he heard when he went to take the saw in his childhood.
13:34But this time, he doesn't need to be afraid because now there was land beneath him.
13:38Yes, these people have reached Polynesia after crossing the ocean for 120 days.
13:43Thor starts crying seeing the land of that island.
13:46He did what he thought.
13:47This is called not giving up.
13:48His friends look at him and smile and Thor also says to them, we did it.
13:52All the friends happily enjoy this victory.
13:54After this, they set up a camp there and send a message to America that we have done it.
13:58BBC News tells the whole world this news that a man who traveled 5,000 miles on a raft.
14:03At the end of the story, original photos of these six people are shown to us.
14:07And along with it, it is also told that after this journey,
14:10it is proven that the people of Polynesia did not come from Asia but from South America.
14:15The raft on which these people traveled this journey is named Kon Tiki,
14:19which has been kept in a museum safely to this day.
14:22Thor did not even stop after this discovery.
14:24He gave his whole life to science and technology.
14:27But he died at the age of 87, with which this story ends.
14:34He died at the age of 88.
14:36He died at the age of 88.
14:42He died at the age of 90.
14:43He won't just go outside his eyes and gotta be found an image of inspiration.
14:44The fact of the decade and this story ends in the world and he tried to understand it.
14:44He died at the age of 78.
14:44And he died at the age of 79, with which this story ends.
14:44He died at the age of 91.
14:46He died at the age of 79.
