The Viracocha Expedition is an educational, humanitarian, and ethnographic adventure - a primitive reed ship voyage around the globe. This expedition is significant because it will demonstrate the possibility of ancient migration and trade routes thought to be impossible by conventional wisdom. There exists archaeological, linguistic, and botanical evidence that these routes were indeed traveled, yet modern scholars deny the possibility that these primitive ships could endure such distances. The Viracocha Expedition will unveil the potential for ancient peoples to have traveled across oceans and to the most remote places on earth, impacting the fields of anthropology, ethnology, archaeology, and history.
The Viracocha Expedition has been inspired by certain questions raised by scientist about reed boats,such as:
Were ancient mariners able to cover large distances in reed boats?
Did ancient navigators able to find their way across thousands of miles of ocean?
Were ancient navigators able to find their way across thousands of miles of ocean?
