Quote:
El Dorado is the name of a Muisca tribal chief who covered himself with gold dust and, as an initiation rite, dove into a highland lake. Later it became the name of a legendary "Lost City of Gold", which fascinated explorers since the days of the Spanish Conquistadors. Imagined as a place, El Dorado became a kingdom, an empire, and the city of this legendary golden king. This legend is, and has been proven, true.
