Also, the nut was discovered AFTER Brazil was already named, since the nut is original to the amazon rainforest, while the portuguese settlers first landed in the southeast coast of Brazil. The fact is that the coast of Brazil was full of PAU BRAZIL (Brazil Wood), a red colored tree, native from Africa, used in Europe to make ships. The name of Brazil Wood comes from the color of the tree, RED as a BRAZIER. Brazil was not named after the nut, specially because in Brazil (portuguese) the nut is called “Castanha do Pará”.

My english is too bad to write such a long story, but the country was named after a type of wood (red as fire), when the portuguese navigators discovered the land, back in the 16th century... The nut was named after the country. Mike,

These places, also known as "fish-and-pay", are very popular down here. Too boring for me! It’s just a fishing community in countryside of Sao Paulo state, in Brazil.

Want to agree with Patrick at 8:33, though - something about the location of the lake, the positioning of the surrounding buildings (?), and the general shape of the lake itself to me screams some sort of spiritual significance. One thing I did learn this afternoon, however: did you know that the country Brazil was named after the nut, and not the other way around?
