The thread correctly identifies El Dorado as the Muisca chieftain (the Gilded One), not a city. Spanish chronicles detail the Lake Guatavita investiture: the successor coated in gold dust on a raft, offering gold and emeralds before diving in. The shown gold raft is the authentic 1969 Pasca find (tumbaga alloy, ~1295-1410 AD), now in Bogotá’s Gold Museum, matching the ritual.
