A Lake, a Boat, and Nothing
After six months in the highlands the column has reached the lake the Muisca priests describe as the heart of the ceremony: a circular crater filled with dark water, ringed by terraced hills, with a single ceremonial path leading down to the shore. The priests are no longer here; the country was depopulated by smallpox a generation before our arrival. The lake has been dragged in three places by a team of native divers willing to be paid in trade goods. They have brought up some gold-work, a quantity of pottery, the bones of fish and a dog, and nothing that resembles a king. Target Leader is forced to conclude the ceremony was real, and the kingdom that supported it is gone.
