PEOPLE AND GOLD IN THE EASTERN MOUNTAINS
From 600 A.D. the Eastern Cordillera was gradually occupied by various peoples of the Chibcha linguistic family, originally from Central. The Europeans found in 1536 to the Muisca, Guanes, laches, chitareros and other groups that maintained economic, ritual and symbolic relations and were recognized as relatives close. Bird-man pecs and ceramic múcuras indicate that shared worldview.
