Map of El Dorado and the Amazon, 16th Century

Map of Guyana and Brazil showing the Amazon river, wild animals, a headless man "of the land Ewaipanoma," an Amazon woman, and the fictitious Lake Parime, on the north shore of which is located the city of El Dorado.  El Dorado was the legendary "Lost City of Gold" that fascinated explorers since the days of the Spanish Conquistadors and was supposedly located on the legendary Lake Parime in the highlands of Guyana. This map is adapted from a slightly earlier map by Jodocus Hondius, although the title states that the map was 'surveyed and drawn by a sailor who accompanies Walter Raleigh on his voyage' (of 1595).
