Heyerdahl argues with compelling evidence that the great civilisations of Mesopotamia, the Indus Valley, and Egypt were connected through seafaring long before conventional history acknowledged, challenging long-held assumptions about the ancient world. Written with the authority of a man who staked his life on his theories, the narrative balances rigorous anthropological inquiry with gripping first-hand adventure on some of the world's most treacherous waters. The expedition ultimately becomes a powerful statement about humanity's shared origins and the destructive forces of modern warfare that threatened the journey's conclusion. This is essential reading for anyone captivated by the mysteries of early civilisation and the audacity of human exploration.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48893803036891,"sku":"2026200009052-SECONDHAND","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/ea492eb4-fcab-42d7-b21d-473c2f1be527.png?v=1782040113","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200009052-secondhand-the-tigris-expedition-in-search-of-our-beginnings","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
