Talk:El Dorado

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I think this page should be El Dorado (disambiguation) and El Dorado should be the page for the El Dorado (myth).--Cuchullain 05:47, 23 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Omoa as Eldorado ??

This Omoa stuff needs references, the connection to ElDorado is not clear as El Dorado legend developped in South America not Central America, as it has been explained in the introduction of this article.--tequendamia 06:44, 25 February 2006 (UTC)

This secction also equals Omoa in Honduras to Manoa in Guyana. I wonder if his author is aware of the geographical differences. If is not corrected by his/her author I'll remove the contradictory sentences.--tequendamia 01:43, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] What is chandenveer Tut ?

The phrase "chandenveer Tut" near the beginning of this article looks like gibberish to me. Does it actually mean anything?---this is the stupidest question ever Psellus 17:44, 20 April 2007 (UTC) yes

[edit] Move section: "El Dorado in popular culture" to El Dorado (disambiguation)

I think this section does not belong here.---well your are also stupid because it is amazing right where it is! The article El Dorado (disambiguation) is the right place. I'd like to move it there.--tequendamia 00:58, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

The into says the chief would dive into the lake after being covered with gold. Yet the actual acount mentions no such thing, there needs to be some conection or explanation as to where the rest of the legend comes from (diving into the lake). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.234.195.62 (talk) 05:52, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Alexander von Humboldt disproved El Dorado?

It says that Alexander von Humboldt disproved the existance of El Dorado on the English maps marked by Sir Walter Raleigh. This does not appear anywhere on the article on Alexander von Humboldt. It also says See Parima-Tapirapecó. This article says nothing about Alexander von Humboldt disproving the existance of El Dorado on the maps either nor anything about the subject. --MicroX 01:44, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Aguirre, the Wrath of God

While the article mentions both Francisco Orellana and gives cultural uses of El Dorado as a metaphor, it does not acknowledge the film adaptation of the Francisco Orellana story by Werner Herzog. In Aguirre, the Wrath of God, Herzong follows him through his maddening journey (very much like Heart of Darkness) until he reaches the mouth of the Amazon with only a raft full of monkeys. I think it would be worth adding to this article as it is highly relevant.

[edit] Akator

Is there an actual place called Akator that is connected with El Dorado, or is it a totally made-up name? 85.74.136.14 (talk) 08:38, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
