The Sierra of Amerrique

In their eagerness to devalue the American native nations, the invaders and their Creole intellectual continuators endeavored to take away the original indigenous names. This was done through a systematic conspiracy of "illustrious" writers who devoted thousands of pages to show that not even the word America is native American. The inhabitants of America are so insignificant that they do not deserve to their own name!

According to these versions, which have been imposed almost unanimously in the so-called universal culture, the name America would come from a Florentine geographer whose name was precisely "Américo" Vespucci. In this way, he officially became the inspiration for the American denomination. We think that this is not true. We believe that the denomination of continent is of native origin and that the known first name of Mr. Vespucci was not Americo but Albérico.

In the following pages we will try to present the foundations of these affirmations. We hope that in that way we can help to draw back the curtain that has hidden the truth for so long. Behind this occultation the ancient name America appears, inspired in the old Sierra de Amerrique, and with it, Huzgalpa, the land of gold and many other roots that will come out of the dungeons of official history reapplearing in the least expected horizons.

The name was taken by the European explorers. As we expressed previously, there are indications that the name Amerrique was picked up by several European explorers when disembarking in the Central American coasts from the zone of Veragua, in the present republic of Panama, to the coast of the Misquitos in the territories of Nicaragua and Honduras. The expedition of Vicente Yáñez Pinzón, in which Albérico Vespucci participated in 1497 and 1498, descript in a letter (the second letter) by the latter, was put in doubt by some authors. The knowledge of the insular character of Cuba, which is expressed in the map of Juan de la Cosa in the year 1500, and several other indications, tend to confirm the effective occurrence of this route. During the expedition, the expedition visited the Central American coasts, probably continuing to the Gulf of Mexico and Florida. Four or five years later, Christopher Columbus himself, on his fourth trip, would also gather a wealth of information about the riches of the area, including, almost certainly, the name of Amerrique. Then, by those things of destiny, the denomination happened to be used to designate a part of Central America and soon to the whole of the American continent.
