who knows? History of El dorado

Once upon a time, a rich king, in order to punish his unfaithful wife, sent her to die in the lake Guatavita, Colombia. Later, conscious of his error, he covers itself with gold, and plunged into the holly lake every day, to offer this gold to the god. We called him the golden king wich is in spanish: el rey dorado or shorter: El dorado.

Nowadays, we consider that "El dorado" is the city of Bogota because the lake was there and the main airport of Bogota is call El dorado.
