Maybe they should read the accounts of the first spainiards who floated down from Peru to the mouth of the amazon looking for El Dorado? They claim the amazon nasin teemed with cities, towns and farms. Why didn't they read them? Sounds like a bunch of ignoramuses.

Yup. The Spanish named the river 'Amazon' because of the female warriors they saw along the river edges.
