The Muisca People of Colombia

[@edwardebroome8]

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.

Glad you enjoyed the video 🙂

[@sarahdiehl2672]

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

[@marionchanson5479]

The text is from Wikipedia, Muisca article... What's the point?

[@davidk5954]

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.

Thank you, my ancestors!

[@gamerkitti]

3:35 - Did you say witches were the warriors? ??? Can you expand?

[@estebanospina3190]

"Guaches" used to me warrior in muisca language, but, there was an intention from the colonizers to degraded the culture so now "guache" means rude, disrespectful, uncivil.

[@protoeuro7637]

Thank you for the video. I found out I am a direct descendant of the Zipas through Princess Catalina Moyachoque and Captain Juan De Torres. Honored

[@HumoftheEarth]

Cool lineage!

[@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.”

Y cabe bien àqui aquel Alexandre Magno, que traía en el mundo el mismo oficio que los españoles han traído y traen por todas estas Indias, infestan do, escandalizando, matando, robando, captivando, subjetando y usurpando los reinos ajenos y gentes que nada le debían. Este, siendo infiel idólatra, enemigo del linaje humano, infernalísimo, llegando a los montes Caspios, donde habían sido puestos y des terrados, llevados captivos, los diez tribus de Israel, por Teglapha lazar y Salmanazar, reyes de los Asirios, del cual captiverio se tracta en el capítulo 15 y 17 del IV de los Reyes, los cuales no podían salir de allí por edicto público, que se les puso por los mismos reyes ya dichos, enviáronle a suplicar, como lo vieron que señoreaba el mundo, les diese licencia para salir y volverse a su tierra, que era Jerusalén y la de promisión; y como Alexandre preguntase la causa de su destierro, fuéle respondido que porque apostataron, dejando a su Dios de Israel por adorar los becerros de oro, que les constituyó por dioses Jeroboán, y les ofrecieron sacrificio, y que por los profetas les estaba profetizado que nunca habían de coli
