Amazon Basin |

God destroyed with water everything throughout all the land. Just a few people escaped the waters on the top of a mountain called Maini Mountain. Another mountain is called Copipitone ("Large Jungle Mosquitoes") Mountain. Another is called Manuelaba ("Place of Manuel") Mountain. There our generations were preserved.
