Quite a story
While the myth of Eldorado appeared in the Bogota region in 1536, the golden-roofed pagodas of Burma, described by Marco Paolo, are thought to have contributed to the origin of this legend.

A custom of the Chibcha Indians also contributed to the myth of Eldorado: once a year, the lord, covered in gold dust, bathed in the waters of Lake Guatavita while the villagers threw gold and other precious objects into the water.

At that time, the rumor spread like wildfire and immediately sparked the greed of the Spanish conquistadors. The fabulous treasures of the Incas were then plundered, and the Inca Empire, which stretched from present-day southwest Colombia to central Chile, including almost all of Peru, Ecuador, a significant portion of Bolivia, and a fraction of northwest Argentina, collapsed.

Some myths die hard!

Voltaire used this magnificent land in his philosophical tale, Candide, or Optimism, during the heyday of the Enlightenment, two centuries later. Since then, new «Eldorados» have emerged: black gold, the conquest of the Land of the Rising Sun, the gold rush, Silicon Valley, cryptocurrency, the Middle Kingdom’s luxury market... Today, artificial intelligence... Soon, space tourism...

Eldorado is always at the heart of current events. The word adapts and changes its face with the times: it most often remains synonymous with treasure hunting.
