Five hundred years ago，explorers （探險者） discovered America.They told stories about treasure hidden in South America.One of the stories was about a city called El Dorado （"the city of gold"） which was somewhere in Colombia.The story said that the local people painted their king with gold once a year.The king then washed off all the gold in a lake.When people in Europe heard this story，they began to talk about finding this lake and taking away the gold and treasure left on the bottom.
The west of South America was ruled by the Incas （印加人），who built great temples and palaces out of gold and shining treasure.The Spanish king heard about this.He sent his general，Francisco Pizarro，to South America to bring all their treasure back to Europe.Pizarro and his army landed in South America and soon caught the Incas' emperor.Pizarro required plenty of gold in exchange for the emperor.However，before Pizarro got the gold，he broke his word and killed the emperor.
After that，many Incas ran away into the mountains.They took their treasure with them.One of the places they went to was Machu Picchu.This is sometimes called the "lost city of the Incas" because it was hidden for centuries in a thick forest.It was discovered in 1911，but no treasure was found there.
Some people still believe that there are more cities full of gold hidden in South America.Many explorers have set out to try to find them.Some have never returned.Perhaps many more will continue to look for "EI Dorado" and the "lost" treasure.
