My family is from Boyacá originally. I’m very proud of it and thank you for putting this out. Many Colombians get sick of a negative identity when in reality we’re very rich in culture, just most have no idea. I was recently there and miss it greatly.

[@HumoftheEarth]

Glad you enjoyed the video 🙂

Thank you so much! I’m doing a end of semester project for a college Spanish 2 class, my group chose Colombia to speak about, and I have the section about pre colonial history. This helps immensely

[@onewingangel1117]

How did your project go?? 😊

[@estrellagomez5983]

I was fascinated with this history, which is very close of what we learnt at the school when we were kids. I remember that teachers tought a subject called "Historia Patria" with pasion and we loved it a lot. I still remember most of what I learned, and of course, I am colombian lady, proud to have the Muisca inheritage. Thank you so much for your excellent history 🤗

[@HumoftheEarth]

Glad you enjoyed. Thanks for the nice comment

Small clarification, indigenous "Bacatá", actually Muyquytá, was located in modern day Funza, even today, outside the city of Santafé de Bogotá, which was founded from scratch by Gonzalo Jiménez de Quesada in what is now the city's downtown.

Thanks for the info that's pretty cool.

[@campfire_cat]

[@firestorm307]

I'm sitting in a cafe with Ari Shaffir and we brought you up because we were talking about a book about cycling. Hope you're well. Ari said he's glad your still out there traveling!

[@APOSTLESDOCTRINEPHOENIX]

excellent information and visuals, what are your thoughts of indigenous peoples of the South America being the dispersed of the 12 tribes of Israel?

[@ShawnyChao]

That's what the Mormons believe, what is your belief on this?

[@casadelosotte]

total nonsense! there is a difference between science and history on one hand and the religious books. Please do not mix things you might believe with things that actually happened!

[@APOSTLESDOCTRINEPHOENIX]

@@casadelosotte 2 Esdras 13:40 LOL !! “Those are the ten tribes, which were carried away prisoners out of their own land in the time of Osea the king, whom Salmanasar the king of Assyria led away captive, and he carried them over the waters, and so came they into another land.”
