The Amazon Rainforest was created millions of years ago when the Amazon River changed from flowing westward to flowing eastward.
Although the rainforest had been inhabited by humans for over 10,000 years, it was first "discovered" by a Spanish explorer and conquistador, along with their army in 1541. The group was searching for cinnamon and gold in a vast forest when they decided to split up. They never did come across the cinnamon or the gold, but they did find the greatest river on earth, The Amazon River. |
