THE LEGEND OF DORADO!
The Legend of El Dorado originates from the Muisca, who lived in the
modern country of Colombia from 1000 to 1538 AD. In a ritual ceremony
for their goddess, the tribal chief would cover himself in gold dust and
jump into a lake as an offering. This spawned the legend of a lost
golden city, which led Spanish conquistadors on a wild goose chase to
nowhere.
