Produktbeschreibung
The meeting of civilizations separated by great oceanic masses over millennia has been one of the most important milestones in the history of mankind. Human groups with very diverse cultural developments were surprised by their counterparts from another continent. Thus, in the 16th century, Spanish conquerors and Native Americans came into contact for the first time. This unique moment is one of the most important in history and had implications in all cultural areas, but above all in the conflict that has been narrated by chroniclers, although rarely addressed by archaeology.Very few archaeological discoveries have been made about the time of contact and even fewer related to the conflict that followed between these peoples. But an archaeological find south of Bogotá-Colombia in 2008 sheds light on the violent events that followed the encounter between the Muisca people and the Spanish conquistadors.
