Discover the story of the Golden Man, the inspiration behind one of the most legendary tales of the Americas--El Dorado.

Imagine a man covered in gold dust, shining in the first rays of the sun. It must be impressive, right?

This fascinating picture book unveils the ancient ceremony practiced by the Muisca people in the Guatavita Lagoon, in what is now Colombia. It follows the preparation and ritual, where a young man, dusted in gold, plunges into the sacred waters to honor his gods and solidify his leadership.

Dive into the rich history of these master goldsmiths and explore the legendary Golden Man ritual through engaging, meticulously researched illustrations and storytelling.
