The Amazons of ancient legend belonged to the Old World (Ukraine, Libya, and Turkey are some of the present-day nations whose territories they were once thought to roam). Centuries later, when Europeans first sailed the coast of South America, they thought they saw women warriors guarding the banks of one mighty river, and so named it after the Amazons of European and Near Eastern legend.
Even as a child I wondered what the heck did Tarzan have to do with amazons?I mean,Tarzan's from Africa right?Amazons are in south America?What am I missing here?
The leader was played by Maria Uspenskaya who also appeared in "The Wolfman" with Lon Chaney Jr. and many others.
