Amazon story, myth or true?

[apinagez]

Hey there,

 

 

 

Recently, I have been remembered about a rumour that circulated where I live (southern part of Brazil).

 

 

 

This thing that circulated on the Web for a long time now, and talks about the way south-american geography is being taught at the USA.

 

 

 

According to the rumour, Amazon rainforest (wich is located 90% on Brazil) is now shown in USA's school books as being a multi-national zone, controlled by the UN and the USA, because this continent is populated by an "inferior kind of people, that isn't able to control such an important forest".

 

 

 

Here is a page of the supposedly real school book containing the contraditorial map that circulates here:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Myself, I don't really believe this is real, however, if it is, it's a great threat to the brazilian soberany and it's territorial issues.

 

 

 

I really hope it's a myth, otherwise it may cause a serious international issue.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You ever heard about it?

 

 

 

Is the south american map really taught that at USA, or is the story a complete myth?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks for your time reading :)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

P.S: If you don't know how is the real south american map, go to google and look for it :wink:

I highly believe that it is a myth. If you read the article, it sounds like a bunch of gibberish.

Yeah i know the map of South America because i like to use it in the game RISK. But it's not taught like that is schools. Well atleast not mine. But don't believe it South America gets a bad rap sometimes but ask and student taking Spanish and they'll tell you thats wrong. It's a MYTH.

I think so too...but you never know...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

That book is total BS.. I love spanish culture.. :P

I think that if the UN or USA were to take sovereignty away from a country over such a prominent geographical feature, it would have been televised at the very least. The diplomatic procedures would have leeched millions from taxpayers' money. Nobody would like it at all.

I'm pretty sure that's a fake, although you can never tell.

THANK YOU PHIL, A LOT :D

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I also have found the way the "book" is written really strange, using words that aren't supposed to be used on a school book and a really basic language.

 

 

 

I'm glad to listen it's really a fake, couldn't be real :)
