Ancient Americas recently made a video about contact between Polynesia and South America, which there is an increasing amount of evidence for.
Thor Heyedahl had a version of that theory
Hellååååå eiv djast arreivd in mei fæntæstikk båt, Kon Tiki feiv!!
oh yeah coz you are Norwegian and Thor Heyerdahl is Norwegian
It's a reference to the Raske Menn sketch "World History in 5 Minutes" where it's a recurring gag that Thor Heyerdahl shows up in unexpected places and says in a thick accent, "Hello!! I've just arrived in my fantastic boat, Kon Tiki 5!!"
That sketch also has some casual racism and Islamophobia so y'know be warned about that
