Reader Reviews:
Essential reading about the origins of the Maldive People (0/0 people found this helpful)
Thor Heyerdahl's book gives an excellent insight into the ancient history of the Maldives; and how numerous cultures have influenced the islands especially in the pre-Islamic Maldives. Based on his visits to a number of islands where he had discovered pre-Islamic artifacts, the book attempts to trace the ancient cultures that dominated the islands. However, this book is far from being a comprehensive analysis of the origins of the Maldive people. It just raises several questions.
Overall, interesting and fascinating reading for those who wants to know more about the ancient culture of these islands.
