In 1524 it was suggested to King Charles V to create a canal across Panama to easily plunder the riches of Central America. Who suggested this is unknown but it probably was suggested by every ship's captain that sailed there. A concrete plan was developed in 1529 by this very king, but wars in Europe kept them from continuing the idea.
