The Atlanitic.

If Answers.com is going to come up on top of google seach, you have a responsibility to at least have a correct answer, or phrase a question correctly.

Before the Pacific was discovered by a Spanish Conquistodor, as far Spain and Euro[ was concerned, the Pacific Ocean did not exist. For the other 3/4th of the world however, the Pacific Ocean was otherwise known by Pacific Islanders from Rapanui (Easter Island) to A'otearoa (New Zealand) as Moana Nui. Moana Nui was bustling with trade and migration between many of the islands that had been settled perhaps 2000 years ago. in 1400s, China and what is now South America (before NOT having been discovered by Columbus), had established trade.
