    To me El Dorado was always a way to entice rulers tu fund new expeditions.

      Look up The Bugs Bunny monster called GOSSAMER .
      That is exactly what I picture these creatures looking like except maybe no fur or hair ... but look at its shape and you will know exactly what I'm talking about and I believe what they saw was something more like this critter ... I'm not kidding ... but you will laugh when you see it if you've never seen it before

    I think El Dorado might have been a real place just not the way they think. It wasnt a city made of gold, probably just a large and prosperous city probably originally founded by the Aztec. The europeans probably heard of it through trading and communicating with the local tribals and a mistake was made during translations.

    Could very well have been a city decimated by the pox. Maybe not made of gold but a very rich city

    The first germans, polish, czechs, flemish (belgians), swiss and maybe from other central european countries to set foot on continental mainland of New World was in 1529, so as to work as miners to search El Dorado in actual Venezuela . The leased colony by Emperor Charles V to the banker family of Welser was called "Klein Venedig" and its capital Coro was named "Neu Augsburg", Maracaibo "Neu Nüremberg" and Cabimas o "Neu Ulm". Some expeditions inland departed from Coro and El Tocuyo (also given a german name as Tocuyothal) searching for El Dorado. "Klein Venedig" didn't last long though, this was due to both poor results and complaints from miners and locals, thus Emperor Charles V didn't renew the contract to the Welsers (bankers from Augsburg). Some very old and forgotten cemeteries in NW Venezuela may have some surnames still, no idea. This was at a time when the portuguese were still exploring lands which soon later became Brazil and the spanish just arriving to Cuzco and the River Plate. 🇩🇪🇻🇪 🤠👍
    That's right the reasons of the Welser expeditions was to find Eldorado for that, they didn't make a culture legacy and now Maracaibo (The principal city than they created ) doesn't have nothing of germ an culture appart of the Tovar colony established in 1842. But in the Second World War with the germans emigration they build and reapairs so much of his old colonies these new villages start to buiding to equaty than in otrers countries like Peru, Brasil, Chile, Uruguay and Argentina that's when they finally make a legacy in that's countries (Culture legacy). sorry for the fails in the coment, my english is not very nice .
    What is curious is the venezuelan liking for some central european tastes atypical for tropical latinamerica: maltzgetränke (malta), probably the highest per capita consumption in the world, tartar sauce for hot dogs (salsa tartara o la misma "alemana" para perros calientes), münster cheese (queso munster), dutch cheeses (quesos holandeses), smoked andean cheese similar to rauchkäse (queso ahumado andino similar al rauchkäse), the sulzer, polish style sausages for hotdog making (salchichas tipo polacas para perros calientes), the traditional potato (+ chicken & apple) christmas salad similar to austrian and german christmas salads (ensalada de papas navideña similar a la ensalada de papas navideña alemana). Appart, the "tradition" for the christmas pine tree (aparte, la "tradición" del pino navideño). Maybe more.
    It's probably related to a tiny "DNA memory" component as most of those foods were introduced way much later during the XX century. No research has ever been done about it though.

    To me the most famous expedition for Eldorado was Lope de Aguirre's (or rather Ursúa's but Aguirre is the famous one and the one who took over after Ursúa's ... erm... execution). He never found Eldorado (of course not) but he did declare war on the largest Empire of the time, what IMO is absolutely epic. He even managed to conquer Isla Margarita...
    Of course Eldorado was just a pretext and, for what you said, it seems to me that Raleigh was also pretexting much in the way of the tailors of the story of "the Emperor's new clothes" to get funding. He seems to me a bit of a farsant and charlatan.

    El Dorado wasn't a place, it comes from "El Hombre Dorado", the "Golden Man", a Muisca ceremony where a new chief was covered in gold dust, rafted into the middle of a sacred lake, and threw a bunch of gold into the water as an offering to the god.
