Summary[edit]
| Description |
Español: Antes de la conquista española en el siglo XVI, el jefe tribal del pueblo indígena colombiano de los muiscas tenía un asombroso rito de iniciación: tenía que cubrirse con polvo de oro y luego sumergirse en la Laguna de Guatavita (un lago a las afueras de la actual Bogotá). Esta ceremonia inspiró la leyenda de El Dorado.
La representación más conocida de esta ceremonia es la Balsa Muisca, en exhibición permanente en el Museo del Oro en Bogotá.
English: Before the Spanish conquest in the 16th century, the tribal chief of the Muisca native people of Colombia has an amazing initiation rite: he has to cover himself with gold dust and later dive into Lake Guatavita (a lake outside current-day Bogota). This ceremony inspired the legend of El Dorado.
The most known representation of this ceremony is the Muisca Raft, held on permanent display in the Gold Museum in Bogota. |
