The worlds largest waterfall is the Angel Falls. I was found by Jimmie Angels. But recently, Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez today called for the Angel Falls - the world's tallest waterfalls - to be renamed.
He said the 3,000ft-high landmark should be should revert to its original indigenous name instead of commemorating the American pilot who spotted it in 1933.
Mr Chavez, a fierce opponent of the U.S., said that thousands of Pemon Indians had seen the falls before Jimmy Angel ever 'discovered' them.The Pemon moniker, Kerepakupai-Meru , should be the new name, he said.
This means the new name of Angel Falls is Kerepakupai-Meru
