Aku-Aku: The Secret of Easter Island is a 1957 book by Thor Heyerdahl detailing the 1955–1956 Norwegian Archaeological Expedition to Easter Island, focusing on the mystery of the giant moai statues. The book explores theories about how the statues were carved and moved, linking them to South American cultures, and delves into the island's folklore, including the concept of "Aku-Aku" as a spiritual guide, though many of his specific claims have since been disputed by archaeologists.
