	Map of Amazonas, Brazil
		Amazonas is the largest Brazilian State, with 1,577,820 km2; it´s bigger than Germany, France, the UK and Italy combined; it´s slightly bigger than Alaska, and bigger than California and Texas combined.
		However, by volume of water, nothing comes close to the Amazonas: it is estimated that the Amazonas alone pours one fourth of all the water thrown into the oceans of the world.
		The capital is Manaus; during the first few decades of the 1900s, when Brazil was the almost monopolistic producer of rubber in the world, Manaus was one of the most sophisticated cities in the planet; most of the largest buildings in Manaus (such as, for example, the Opera House) date back to this epoch.

	Portugal's discovery - The Amazonas Indians Brazil (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		To say how many Indians lived in Brazil at the time of its discovery is practically impossible, since Brazilian territory was being conquered little by little and its current configuration is of the end of the past century.
		Today, the number of indigenous societies recognized in existence in Brazil is 215, with a total population of 325,652 people (statistics dated from mid-1997).
		Therefore, we can say that the environment and its various ecosystems should be recognized as a factor in the process of generating indigenous cultures to the extent that the Indians and their social organizations had to develop strategies for adapting to each of the ecosystems in order to obtain the necessary means for survival.
