Muyquyta

Muyquyta was the seat of the zipa, ruler of the southern Muisca chiefdoms on the Bogotá savanna, near present-day Funza. Succession passed through the ruler's sister's son; gold offerings on Lake Guatavita were thought to have inspired El Dorado.

Zipa Tisquesusa fought the northern Muisca of Hunza before the Spanish arrived in 1537; he fled and was killed near Facatativá. His brother Sagipa joined the Spanish to defeat the Panche at Tocarema in 1538, but was tortured for gold and died at Bosa in 1539.
