^Wow, some people take chuck way to far.

^I know it was, but that's the third time hes used it in less than ten minutes ^_^

^Way off topic (srryz modz =D)

@arax_Nisanu, I think it was simply a joke.I make Chuck Norris jokes all the time.

In Indiana Jones 4 there is a supposed city of Gold but Indy is just a movie

yeah, things in fictional movies can't be taken seriously.Even sometimes when they are taken from real events.One example is the movie 300.It was based off a real battle, but some of the events that took place in the movie were completly fictional.

If it was hidden and it was a city with lots of people in it, it would be secret or hidden huh?

It doesn't exist. We already have the technology to check every place that anyone in this thread has mentioned and in most cases already have.

We can see, from space, the location of every ancient ruin through the canopy, so we know the location of every native american ruin in the jungle and therefore it can't be there.

There's no reason to build a hidden city underground, and even if they had done that we have technology to check for mineral deposits that would pick up on the big hole in the ground with a ton of gold in it.

And whoever said it was the ancient Aztec capitol of Tenochtitlan (which was the name if you were unaware). Well...I'm sure the 8.2 million people currently living at that site would be able to tell you that no, there isn't a city of gold all around them, just quite a few slums.

I highly doubt that there is, or ever was, an El Dorado, it's just one of the many tales that were spawned among the discovery and excitement of finding 'The New World.'

I believe that there is a place. Take for example Tenochtitlan, the Aztec Capital.

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

i think it is a myth no [evedence needed].

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.

There could be one. I also believe that there might be one....

The modern city of gold! Hahaha
