Peru - The Name It is well known that, at least since 1523, ten years before Spanish conquest, the name Peru already was setted, as evidenced by documents concerning taxes payments by the gold obtained in the journey of Pascual de Andagoya: "who was to province of Peru, and Juan García de Montenegro, who was like seer (...) some gold which we said had obtained in this trip from Perú". Before set up the definitive form of the name, it had variants as Viru, Beru or Piru, such like we may find in many documents of that time. In that zone nowadays spoken tongues originated in Chocó. It is widely accepted that Andagoya never reached historical Peru region as stated above, but at most at colombian Chocó coast, no more at south of San Juan river. About this "Perú" already had news the spaniard captain Gaspar de Morales previously: "in the eastern of Gulf of San Miguel lives an indian chief named Biru, who had a lot of richness in gold and pearls". It's doubtful that Morales might have reached the lands of this "cacique". The Lord Biru had few caciques under his hand, whom Andagoya conquered and whose governor get friendship finally, taking news about existence of opulent kingdom far south. Since this time all lands no discovered, which were very far from Gulf of San Miguel was called Biru or Peru. Finally, when Pizarro embarked towards the south for the conquest of an unknown amerindian kingdom, the Inca Empire, already had named Peru. Thus, a small lordship from colombian jungle ended up giving name for one to the biggest dreams of richness for the Spanish Empire.

Thanks Mr., I corrected this following your tips. Check it.

Peru - The Name

It is well known that, at least since 1523, ten years before Spanish conquest, the name Peru already existed, as evidenced by documents concerning taxes payments by the gold obtained in the journey of Pascual de Andagoya: "who had gone to province of Peru, and Juan García de Montenegro, who was like seer (...) some gold which we said had obtained in this trip from Perú".
Before the definitive form of the name was set, it had variants as Viru, Beru or Piru, such like we may find in many documents of that time.
That zone today is known as Chocó, in Colombia.
It is widely accepted that Andagoya never reached historical Peru region as stated above, at most at Colombian Chocó coast, no further than south of the San Juan river.
The spaniard capitain Gaspar de Morales already had news about this "Peru" previously. He said, "in the east Gulf of San Miguel lives an Indian chief named Biru, who had a lot of richness in gold and pearls".
It's doubtful that Morales might have reached the lands of this "cacique".
The Lord Biru had a few caciques under his hand, whom Andagoya conquered and whose governor had finally gotten friendship, taking news about existence of opulent kingdom far to the south.
Since this time all lands had not been discovered, which were very far from Gulf of San Miguel was called Biru or Peru.
Like by then, when Pizarro embarked towards the south for the conquest of an unknown Amerindian kingdom, the Inca Empire, it already had been named Peru.
Thus, a small lordship from the Colombian jungle ended up giving a name for one of the biggest dreams of richness for the Spanish Empire.

Nice try at this one, very interesting story, but there were a few mistakes in sentence structure that made the story a little hard to correct. Just work on things like word order and participial phrases, you´ll be better in no time.
