Detailed explanation-1: -The Seven Cities of Cibola never existed any more than El Dorado or Quivira but the quest to find these imaginary places resulted in the destruction of very real ones, and that is the real story of Cibola.
Detailed explanation-2: -The dream of El Dorado, a lost city of gold, led many a conquistador on a fruitless trek into the rainforests and mountains of South America. But it was all wishful thinking. The “golden one” was actually not a place but a person-as recent archaeological research confirms.
Detailed explanation-3: -However, reports about Cibola mainly originate from shipwrecked survivors of the Narváez expedition, a failed colonial enterprise to establish settlements and garrisons in Florida in 1527.
Detailed explanation-4: -Seven Cities of Cibola | National Geographic. An 1898 painting by Frederic Remington portrays Spanish explorer Francisco Vazquez de Coronado on his ill-fated quest in 1541 to find the fabled Seven Cities of Cibola.
