In the beginning there was a legend. I will quote it verbatim, without changing anything in the text: “According to an Indian legend, Eldorado (the Indians called him Paititi) is a city built of gold, shining in the sun like a fiery mountain, where roads are lined with precious stones. It rises on an island in the middle of the lake. Its ruler was the Golden Man, who shone like the sun. Every morning the servants showered him from head to toe with gold dust. In the evening he swam in the lake, washing away the dust, and every day the ritual was repeated again. A city of untold wealth hidden deep in the heart of the Amazon rainforest, a Mexican king or a gilded man covered from head to toe with gold dust, heaven on earth and the location of the Holy Grail are all something beyond the reach of wealth seekers, life-seekers and dreamers. Eldorado has always been and remains a symbol of treasures.

In the XVI century. Spanish conquistadors embarked on the most dangerous journeys, hoping to at least glance over the golden city with a passing glance. The British explorer Sir Walter Reilly in 1596 pointed out its exact location. Even researchers of the XXI century. hope to find El Dorado somewhere in the impenetrable jungles of Peru or at the bottom of a mysterious lake in Colombia. The legend of the golden man (in Spanish - El Dorado) was well known in Colombia and Peru, when at the beginning of the 16th century. the Spaniards arrived here. Some scholars believe that the legend is based on a ceremony held by an isolated Muisca tribe - a highly developed community that lived at an altitude of 8,200 feet - in the Andes and skillfully processed gold. The ceremony for the appointment of a new chief, or high priest, appears to have taken place on Lake Guatavita, north of present-day Bogotá. Starting the ritual, the new ruler presented gifts to the god of the lake, after which a raft was built from reeds and filled with incense and incense. The naked body of the new leader was smeared with embalming resin and covered with a thin layer of gold dust. Then the ruler with four of his assistants, who carried gold crowns, pendants, earrings and other jewelry, sat down on a raft strewn with heaps of gold and emeralds, and, to the accompaniment of trumpets and flutes, the raft set off from the shore and sailed to the center of the lake. As soon as he reached the middle, everything calmed down. The leader and his subordinates made a donation - they threw wealth into the water. From that moment on, the new ruler was considered a leader and overlord. However, this did not stop the Spaniards. The coveted gold and spices attracted travelers. Most of the XVI century. passed in search of enormous wealth. The seekers believedthat treasures exist and are hidden in some unknown place - in the jungle or mountains of Ecuador or Colombia. In 1568, the wealthy explorer and conquistador Gonzalo Jimenez de Quesada received an order from King Philip to search the southern Llanos, the vast tropical plains of Colombia with tall grass. In December 1569, an expedition of 300 Spaniards and 1,500 Indians left the capital of Colombia, Bogota, and went in search of El Dorado. But the harsh conditions of the dull, mosquito-filled swamps and desert plains ruined the expedition: three years later, Quesada returned to Bogota with 64 Spaniards and 4 Indians. Many researchers, relying on the myth of the Muisca ceremony on Lake Guatavita and the mention of Lake Eldorado by Gonzalo Pizarro, put forward the version that the lost city is indeed located near the lake. In 1595 Sir Walter Reilly, a British court explorer,trying to regain the favor of Queen Elizabeth I, he went in search of El Dorado. His expedition sailed along the Orinoco River for several weeks, but did not find anything. However, in his book Discovery of the Great, Rich and Beautiful Empire of Guyana, and Description of the Great Golden City of Manoa, Reilly stated that El Dorado is a city located on Lake Parime on the Orinoco River in Guyana (today Venezuela). To be more convincing, Reilly presented an accurate map of the lake city, and since then the mythical Lake Parime has been marked on the maps of South America for another 150 years. Only at the beginning of the 19th century. German naturalist and explorer Alexander von Humboldt established that neither the city nor the lake ever existed. It is believed that the last expedition to find Eldorado left Holland in 1748. But was she really the last one? What do we know about other daredevils or madmen who set out to meet the unknown?"

Five centuries have passed. They tried to find the ancient city many times. The author of this article remembers well the stories he read in different magazines, stories (or rather, just fantasies) that the last inhabitants of this city voluntarily passed away. But before that, they melted all the gold and piled it on the side of the mountain. Hiding a secret forever under a layer of snow and ice. The glacier is safer than any bank safe. However, this gold did not bring happiness to anyone … But now we live in the 21st century. An age when all the secrets of history can be easily discovered without even leaving your apartment. Satellites have divided the world into squares, and large-format satellite imagery has long been a surprise. At the moment, DigitalGlobe has achieved the best result, it publishes these photos on its Google Earth server. At its core, it is a huge map of the world,brought together from a variety of satellite photographs. The undoubted advantage of this service is that the images are updated very often. And each picture is tied to specific coordinates. In the West, many companies use these photographs to search for minerals, or to compile highly accurate maps of the area. In general, I understood the main thing, this legend can be verified in practice. Although, of course, the task seemed insoluble to me. But there are no unsolvable mysteries in the world? Of course, I immediately dismissed all mysticism and fantasy. Most likely, this legend was based on real facts. Where in the wilds of South America, to this day, the remains of an ancient settlement lie. People lived somewhere very close to the discovered gold deposit. The gold mine was apparently very large. Perhaps just huge!Since the civilization of South America did not have a very good command of the secrets of geology, they most likely mined the yellow metal from the surface.

Help from the Internet: “As strange as it may seem, gold is widespread in the world around us. It is present even in the human body. However, according to the content of elements in the earth's crust, gold occupies only 61 place and less than 0.000001% by weight. The fact is that gold in the environment is in a highly dispersed state. Areas where gold can be found in significant concentrations are very rare. Such places, if gold can be mined industrially, are called deposits. In addition to deposits, gold (sometimes in significant concentrations) can be found in small deposits, placers, and so on, which are not of industrial importance. The formation of primary deposits is associated with magmatic processes. The earth's magma, unlike the crust, contains an increased concentration of gold. As a result of volcanic activity, flows of magma erupted to the surface. It should be understood that during the ejection and cooling of magma, a huge number of different reactions occur. They involve both the substances of the magma itself and minerals from the rocks of the earth's crust containing the magma, as well as water. The course of the process and the final composition of the compounds resulting from the complete cooling of the magma may differ. Thus, primary gold deposits can be formed in several ways, but they are always associated with igneous rocks. Gold in primary deposits rarely exists in pure form. It usually contains a certain amount of other metals. The largest part of impurities is made up of alloys with copper and silver. There are also deposits in which gold contains platinum and other platinum group metals. However, sometimes,gold is also in its pure form. Generally speaking, the primary gold deposits were formed in zones of magmatic activity, namely in the mountains. Rocks containing primary formations of gold were subjected to continuous physical and chemical attack, which led to their destruction. Changes in temperature, weathering, precipitation and groundwater, the action of microorganisms and plants - all this leads to the gradual destruction of rocks. When rocks break down, they release the gold in them. It begins its long journey from the mountains down to the valley, forming secondary or placer deposits. The main role in the movement of gold belongs to water. It gradually erodes mountain ranges, carrying down pieces of rock, transforming, crushing and grinding them. Gold, due to its inertia,does not react with water or any other substances, it remains unchanged. Formation of placer deposits, we owe another of the main properties of gold - its unique density or gravity. Since gold is one of the heaviest metals, it tends to accumulate or be deposited in places where lighter compounds are washed out with water. As long as gold is contained in the minerals surrounding it in the primary deposit, it moves downward rather quickly. However, along the way, the minerals are crushed, grinded, gradually releasing gold. After being released, gold, due to its gravity, cannot be carried far away by the current of water and settles in places where the relief forms various types of obstacles in the path of water.

So you need to look for the following:

1) Mountain peak or mountain range

2) Volcanoes that are in this place

3) Since water is needed, there must be a large lake nearby (it appears in the legend)

Promotional video:

4) Fragments of buildings, remains of roads, fortifications, structures for melting metal

This place was really in the mountains. Near the volcano. The wreckage of buildings and structures is clearly visible from space even today. Cobbled roads and a smelting furnace (very primitive) are visible, it was in it that the aborigines, possibly, smelted their gold. A lake from a legend, lies at the foot of the mountain. The gold mine itself is very large. In fact, it is a 200 meter mountain filled with gold nuggets. This abundance led the Aborigines to use gold instead of iron. Since there is a lot of this metal there, they did not even understand its value. And all this was before the arrival of the Spanish conquistadors in their lands. When they began to look for their city, the residents realized the main thing that they would never be left alone. Of course, they could defend themselves for a while. Their fortress is literally carved into the rock, it is very clearly visible in the photographs. But they could not stand against the Spaniards. The rest of the buildings have survived a little. Remains of destroyed houses, a small pyramid, so often found in South America. Apparently the building of the temple. And in the depths of all this, a huge golden mountain that sparkles in the sun. This is how the most important secret was revealed to me.

I don't know what her possession will bring me. But one thing I am sure for sure, this gold will never fall into evil hands. And it is useless to look for it today, as the glacier has again bound the mountains with an ice shell. But how long is it all hidden from people? I don’t know, and I don’t presume to judge it. Now I will tell you the main thing. I will never tell anyone the exact coordinates of this deposit. No one will find the ancient city until I am sure that this gold will benefit people. I'm not going to multiply the wealth of oligarchs and financial tycoons. Once upon a time, one people perished due to the fact that the greedy hands of the conquistadors were reaching for its riches. You shouldn't create something like that today. Therefore, I will keep the location of this treasure a secret. Moreover, I am indifferent to the glitter of gold. Anyone who tries to find this place on Google Earth,I just wish you luck. And I will immediately warn you that usually this place is always covered with a layer of ice and snow. There is only one snapshot of the glacier that opened after the intense heat. The volume of search work will be colossal. Thousands of square kilometers, dozens of countries and hundreds of settlements. And since luck does not come twice, I will be calm about the fate of my find. The gold rush won't work. I am completely sure of this. And only to the most decent of people, I will entrust this secret. Everyone else, please, do not even bother. The gold rush won't work. I am completely sure of this. And only to the most decent of people, I will entrust this secret. Everyone else, please, do not even bother. The gold rush won't work. I am completely sure of this. And only to the most decent of people, I will entrust this secret. Everyone else, please, do not even bother.

PS When I already wrote this article, I decided to supplement it a little. Have you already noticed that 70% of it consists of other people's quotes? I specially brought them in their original form. Since the authors who wrote them are trustworthy. The most important thing! In this place, quartz rocks come to the surface. It is they who are always in the place where the gold mine comes out. But the main thing you have not read. There is a volcano near this place. Very old and quite large (so that you can find a deposit). Gold rose to the surface with lava. Its bright color is caused by the presence of pyrite impurities. Well, the cult (I think so) building and the square in front of it are indeed paved with gold, and the building is made of separate pieces, all the same, gold. So the ancient legend is not so fantastic? I think I found exactly Eldorado.
