The origin of the name Brazil

Brazil’s history of development has a strong colonial flavor

Brazil, like all of Latin America, has a history of development with strong colonial overtones. The first colonists to come to Latin America were Europeans, who called the indigenous people here "Indians." The Indians at that time created an ancient civilization as brilliant as Europe. For example, the planting civilization of the Indians provides us with crops such as corn and potatoes today; the Mayan civilization created by the Indians from the 4th to 9th centuries AD is already quite developed.

Indians were the first inhabitants of Latin America. The reason why they are called "Indians" is mainly because explorers such as Columbus thought that the "new land" they arrived was India, and called the local residents "Indians" (the English pronunciation of the word "India").

At the end of the 15th century, colonists from Spain and Portugal first settled in the Caribbean. In the next century, they expanded their "territory" to the north and south respectively. To the north it enters the Mexican Plateau, to the south it develops in coastal and piedmont areas, and then spreads throughout the southern continent, including Brazil. With the development of plantations in Latin America, the criminal slave trade developed between Latin America and Africa, and large numbers of black slaves were sold to Latin America.

Mayan civilization

The Mayan culture is one of the important ancient cultures in the world, and it is also a major classical culture in the Americas, with a history of more than 5,000 years.

The Mayan civilization was conceived, emerged, and developed in the Yucatan Peninsula, Chiapas and Tapasco states of present-day Mexico, and in some places in Central America.

The Mayan civilization made great achievements in material culture, science and art. For example, construction engineering reached the highest level in the ancient world, and solid stone could be carved and processed. Through long-term observation of astronomical phenomena, we have mastered the solar eclipse cycle and the movement patterns of the sun, moon, and Venus; sculptures, painted pottery, and murals all have high artistic value.
