Which “lost golden city,” sought for centuries in the Amazon basin, has never been officially rediscovered?
El Dorado
El Dorado, legendary for its fabulous riches, has captivated the imagination of European explorers since the 16th century. Tales of a golden city hidden somewhere in the vast and impenetrable South American rainforests launched countless expeditions in search of its treasures. Despite centuries of searching, no concrete evidence of its existence has been found, making El Dorado one of the greatest enigmas and sources of myths from the age of exploration. Historians today believe that El Dorado was more a concept or legend than a real city, perhaps inspired by the rituals of indigenous peoples who used gold abundantly in religious ceremonies.
