Оглавление“Two months passed without us seeing a single
inhabitant of this country. One day, when we
least expected it, a man of giant stature appeared
before us. He stood on the sand virtually naked,
and was singing and dancing at the same time,
sprinkling sand on his head... This man was so tall
that our heads barely reached his waist...
Our captain named these people Patagons.”
Antonio Pigafetta
19th May 1520
