Why did God give gold to the "ugliest"?

The Gold Museum of Bogotá has the most complete collection of Pre-Columbian goldsmithing.

In the Golden Room there is a showcase with 8,000 gold pieces The idea that the gold was near the heat of the Ecuador was well spread. The naturalist Jesuit José de Acosta believed so: "A father with an ugly daughter gives her a big dowry to marry her, and this is what God did with this difficult land, giving it riches in mines to find someone who would love her". Ordás' expedition was a disaster. However, it become the first in the search for El Dorado, the famous myth of the native Chief who bathed covered by gold dust in a scared lake. There was nothing like gold to set about the Spanis adventurers looking for action. We are going to undertake the action too to search for a lot of gold. And we are going to find it in the country of El Dorado in Colombia. Where is El Dorado? Right in the centre of the city we find the famous Gold Museum, the most important in the world in pre-Columbian goldsmithing. It has more than 33.000 gold articles, plus ceramics, textiles, lithic instruments and other pre-Hispanic objects. The modern museum is distributed in three floors. In the first floor, there is a room for travelling archaeological exhibition. The second floor is distributed in showcases with samples of the various cultures. The top floor exhibits the most important pieces of the collection. The room named "Salón Dorado" occupies the central part of the third floor. Its spectacular circular showcase contains 8,000 gold pieces. Access to the room is made in small groups to enjoy a very interesting moment of light and sound: In the Gold Museum, we can see extraordinary pieces than can make us travel with the imagination to pre-Columbian times when the sun was taken by the natives as a sacred element with the powers of the sun, and symbol of life and was given as an offer. From the conquest, a new material mentality on the precious metals prevailed before the magic aborigine thought. The museum artefacts are hundreds of years old but it is amazing the avant-garde design. Many of them would not be out of place in a museum of modern art. In fact, imitation and real jewellery with pre-Columbian reproductions in Colombia that today's women wear.
