  The moral of Federmann’s story? Maybe the real El Dorado were the friends he made along the way…

  One of the most fascinating stories for the search of El Dorado by a conquistador is that of Francisco de Orellana, who ended up sailing the entire length of the River Amazon in the process

  First heard German Conquistadors during my first semester in college. It&apos;s fascinating to know more of them. Of course Charles V of the HRE also ruled the Spanish empire with his son phillip. Glad to see a video exploring this.

  Somewhere between Colombia and Venezuela&apos;s jungle, there are hundredres of pounds of gold to be found at the roots of an old tree... or maybe just below the house of someone

  And because of this era of legendary and fruitless pursuit of unimaginable riches, Colombia to this day is still often referred to as “the land of El Dorado”. This early decades of the 16th century were crucial for european exploration in the territory that became New Granada and most colombian cities (Popayán, Cali, Bogotá, Cartagena, Santa Marta, etc.) were founded in this remarkable period. The airport of Bogotá even has it in its name: “El Dorado international airport”.

  &quot;El Dorado&quot; was found by the Conquistador Francisco Martínez Vegaso when he stole 110 kilos of gold from the Germans and gave it to Pedro de Valdivia, who used it to complete the conquest of Chile. <br><br>It&apos;s a very interesting story

  Who can forget the great, mad German Conquistador Klaus Kinski?

  I have never heard of German conquistadors and I never pondered the etymology of Venezuela. Well done and thank you for bringing this fascinating history to my attention.

  What really got in the video was a small but massively important detail in the Caribbean map was that you put Puerto Rico as the city and San Juan as the island. Most people forget that detail in our islands history. It was like that since it’s founding in 1521 all the way to the late 1700’s when it was decided to switch the names as we know them today. 100/100 for attention to details!!!
