Over the years, this myth might've started in the 1800's or 1900's, over that period of time of explorers searching for it with planes boats shoes and climbing gear and tents and stuff

That's not right... there was a spanish guy that looked for it in the 15th century.
Although that fact is a big part of the Indy 4 plot I read about that guy in a book a long time before Indy 4...

Yes, The City Of Gold, or more accurately know.
The City Of El Dorado.

Which, literally means, The Gilded One.

The Incan's, Aztec's or whichever native tribes in the area were great smiths, and what you would call, alchemists.

Except it wasn't lead to gold, it more like, make an alloy of copper and gold, which is quite reddish, look like pure gold, through chemical means, which, I think was a solution that eroded the top layer of copper, but I can't be relied on for the chemical bit.

It has been scientifically proven, and also archaealogically.

So, there you have it, the city of gold, which was looted by Spaniards, only for them to find that the gold was infact very unpure.

Where are you getting your info from, because if this is true, this myth would've ended along time ago.
