The first European that arrived to American beaches of Pacific coast was the Spanish explorer Vasco Nuñez de Balboa and this sea was called for himself Southern Sea ("Mar del Sur") the second of September in fifteen thirteen, in Panama coast.
Later the Portuguese navigator Fernando de Magallanes, working for Spanish Crown, called to this sea: "Pacifico" due to their waters was very quite while he was navigating across Philippines in fifteen twenty. It is really a paradox being called like that.
Probably all countries around Pacific ocean called to their sea of any way, but they had not the ocean concept neither the concept which The Earth was round.
Do we have the space-ocean concept out of our planet?
ReplyDeleteI love [] history, so it's a pleasure to look for information about THE Pacific Ocean and write some lines in English.

Thanks, Roberto. I can understand that the Pacific may be tranquil on the other side of the world.
I don't know what you mean by the "space-ocean concept". But I am fascinated by the idea that outer space may be "round". That is, if you go in one direction far enough, you'll come back to your starting point from the opposite direction.
due to ITS waters BEING very TRANQUIL.
ReplyDeleteCan I say: "due to its waters are very TRANQUIL" ?
Round space? who knows? others theories speak about multi-dimensional space where you can go out of 3-dimension across black holes. Mathematically it is possible in spite of it is hard to imagine.
"Due to" must be followed by a noun or a noun expression. "Its waters are very tranquil" is a statement, not a noun. You could say "due to the fact that its waters are very tranquil".
ReplyDeleteI got it, thanks
ReplyDeleteI don't understand why is the name translated:
