Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a detailed analysis of the origins of the El Dorado legend, the mythical city of gold that lured explorers to the wilds of South America during the 16th century. The author meticulously traces the evolution of the myth from its roots in indigenous folklore to its popularization by Spanish conquistadors. Through extensive research and analysis of primary sources, the author sheds new light on the role of Sir Walter Raleigh in the exploration of the Amazon region and his contentious reports of a nation of female warriors. The author provides a nuanced defense of Raleigh's credibility, arguing that his writings were based on genuine encounters and observations, albeit influenced by the prevailing beliefs and expectations of his time. This book is an essential read for anyone interested in the history of exploration, the search for El Dorado, and the complexities of truth and myth in the age of discovery.
