Tiki - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Tiki rode a wave of popularity in the late 1950s and early 1960s marked by the entrance of Hawaii as the 50th state in 1959 and the introduction of Tiki hut cocktail bars and restaurants around the continental United States. Tiki exotica is now enjoying a resurgence in popularity, and Tiki mugs and torches that once collected dust in thrift stores are now hot items, largely because of their camp value. Also in Polynesian mythology, a tiki or hei tiki is a kind of sculpture which results in a carving in the shape of a god. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Tiki   (1300 words)

Ships of the World: An Historical Encyclopedia - - Kon-Tiki Tiki, the son of the sun, who was ancestor of the Easter Islanders, seemed to be the same as Kon-Tiki, the mythical head of a white race who, expelled by the Incas from around Lake Titicaca, sailed west across the Pacific. Heyerdahl was intrigued by the presence in Polynesia of plants indigenous to South America, and especially by legends on Easter Island that echoed those of the Inca tradition in Peru. After World War II, Heyerdahl tried to circulate his theory of American colonization of the Pacific, but he was snubbed by the scholarly community. college.hmco.com /history/readerscomp/ships/html/sh_052900_kontiki.htm   (655 words)

Tiki Wonder: Main Hut A major element to the original Tiki culture and the revival are stories of sailing, exploring the exotic tropical seas, all originating from archeologist and explorer Thor Heyerdahl (links), who wrote a book (called "The Kon-Tiki Expedition") of his adventure on the South Seas in 1947. The Tiki subculture (file under "Lounge") of the 21st century is a revival of the Polynesian craze of the 1950's and 1960's: lounge music and fashion, exotic drinks, swaying palm trees, back-pocket pulp-mag bachelor adventure stories, burlesque lust, exotic women and south pacific island dreams. Tiki artwork, sculptures, and the totem-pole style carvings are from all over the Pacific and Pacific Rim - island nations, primitive cultures, and rare tribes express their connection with magic, gods, and forces of nature. www.tikiwonder.com   (979 words)

Tucson Weekly: Hawaii Hello (May 7 - May 13, 1998) The most impressive design feature of the Kon Tiki, however, has to be the glassed-in aviary behind the bar, where six magnificent macaws in brilliant hues of red, green, blue and yellow strut their stuff before the stupefying gaze of the barstool faithfuls. Kon Tiki is enormously popular among the college set, for whom this retro relic offers a titillating new experience. Kon Tiki's kitchen has gone to some lengths to make the dining experience agreeable in all respects. www.tucsonweekly.com /tw/05-07-98/chow.htm   (965 words)

The Tiki Bar Review Pages: Kon Tiki, Tuscon Arizona Yes, Kon Tiki has lost a great deal of it’s tiki luster, and yes, the place is overrun with collegiate fraternity and sorority members looking to get drunk cheap, but I still can’t help trying to go there at least once each time I visit Tucson to re-live some wonderful experiences. My friends and I started going to the Kon Tiki in Tucson about five years ago (gawd, I must be getting old) when it was so slow on some nights, they kicked us out so they could clean the carpets. Originally, I found out about Kon Tiki because they were known to ignore the drinking age and would not typically card the young college crowd. www.tikibars.net /tiki/kontikiaz.html   (1107 words)

Kon Tiki - an essay by Karen Kasaba The ceiling of Kon Tiki is domed like a cavern, painted black as a kukui nut. I didn't recall any white light in Kon Tiki, only those saturated with color, deep glows forced through fishnet or rattan. Yet something of the restaurant's lurid mood remained, still hung in the air, as if these crouching tikis were imbued with ancient spirits, as if the room were an island inhabited by a hiding tribe, watching us through slats of lashed bamboo. www.summersetreview.org /04summer/kontiki.htm   (1129 words)

Sea Routes to Polynesia The great explorer and anthropologist Thor Heyerdahl used this southern current to sail the KON TIKI raft on his 1947 epic voyage from Peru to the Tuamotu Islands.
