Heyerdahl said that when the Europeans first came to the Pacific islands, they were astonished that they found some of the natives to have relatively light skins and beards. There were whole families that had pale skin, hair varying in color from reddish to blonde, and almost Semitic, hook-nosed faces. In contrast, most of the Polynesians had golden-brown skin, raven-black hair, and rather flat noses. Heyerdahl claimed that when Jakob Roggeveen first discovered Easter Island in 1722, he supposedly noticed that many of the natives were white-skinned. Heyerdahl claimed that these people could count their ancestors who were 'white-skinned' right back to the time of Tiki and Hotu Matua, when they first came sailing across the sea 'from a mountainous land in the east which was scorched by the sun.' The ethnographic evidence for these claims is outlined in Heyerdahl's book Aku Aku: The Secret of Easter Island."
