Detailed explanation-1: -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.
Detailed explanation-2: -In the 16th century, the Spaniards in New Spain (now Mexico) began to hear rumors of “Seven Cities of Gold” called “Cíbola” located across the desert, hundreds of miles to the north.
Detailed explanation-3: -From their base at Zuni, in hopes of redeeming the expedition, Coronado sent out scouting parties to investigate and hopefully find the illusive gold that had sent them into new unexplored lands.
Detailed explanation-4: -Instead of finding the legendary cities, though, Coronado encountered only Indian settlements-including the Zuni Pueblos, which originally had inspired the false legend-even though he explored as far north as modern Kansas.
