Manowan Kingdom (Parallel Brazil)

The Manowan people are an ethnic group from unknown origins residing in the southwestern Amazon region, being an independent kingdom for a period of 2330 years between 700 BC and 1630.

The manowans were more advanced than other pre-Columbian peoples in various areas. They had highly developed naval knowledge, phonetic alphabet, and iron and bronze metallurgy knowledge. Their mathematics, base 10 like ours, knew zero. Their language, Altotih, was mysteriously unlike anything in any American language families. While the origins of their civilization and their divergent technological development are now known, the origins of the people and the ethnic manowan themselves are still one of the greatest mysteries of mankind.

Etymology
The manowans called themselves man'uuwain, which in altotih means "Heirs of the First World," a clear reference to their belief that they are "gods expeled from Heaven", as said the portuguese priest Fernando de Almeida. The Spaniards, first European people who they made ​​contact with, named them manoas or manoanos.

The Kingdom of Manowan as their state are known, was called Al'tera Kol'imann by its people, which in altotih means "Refuge of the Ancients".
