The Kon-Tiki expedition in 1947 proved that you could cross this Ocean by the means available to these Polynesians, and that they could very well have traveled to/from South America.
its amazing how they were able to reach these small remote islands like that. in craft most people today wouldnt take out on a calm lake they travelled between distant specs of lands by stars and birds. if they were able to reach hawaii or easter island it really shouldnt be a stretch they could reach the west coast of the americas.
