Among the many mysteries to be discovered in the Colombian Andes, Cali is near one of the most important and intellectual center of attention: the traces of an ancient civilization of Colombians identified as "Calima". The regional center of that civilization is now the territory of the municipalities of Restrepo, Calima-Darien and parts of Yotoco and Travel in the department of Valle del Cauca, but may influence the territory of this people has been even more extensive . Like many mountain agrarian cultures, there are traces of a systematic transformation of the hills in terraces to improve farming. Many artifacts found in tombs and excavations show a flurry of little-known civilization that lasted from the first century AD to the fifteenth century. Rock art in the area attracts the interest of scholars in the long discussion about whether the aboriginal pre-Hispanic era knew some form of writing or heading is just a set of graphs as are found in many regions of Colombia. The mystery of the headings is to be elucidated since the "rosetta stone

The mystery of the headings is to be elucidated since the "rosetta stone
" Colombia has not been found. The interpretations are still hypothetical circles of different scholars. If the "rosetta stone
" is found, we may be able to get to know the life and identity of this unknown civilization demoninó the slopes and valleys of the Cordillera Occidental and many others in the Colombian territory. The "Rosetta Stone
" refers to the discovery in 1799 of a stone in Egypt by Jean-François Champollion and which was instrumental in the interpretation of Egyptian hieroglyphics. Until then, the ancient script was a mystery. The stone was a decree of Ptolemy V written in two Egyptian languages \u200b\u200b(hieroglyphic and demotic) plus the Greek. The fact that this was in three languages \u200b\u200bmade possible through Champollion Comparison back to life one of the oldest languages \u200b\u200bin their writing. Many graphics pre-Hispanic Colombia await their "Champollion" that gives the light an era that remains in the shadows in many respects, though the pottery, tombs and artifacts speak about their creators.

. is not an exaggeration. It is a fact that can be tested by scientists and geologists: Colombia is located on a large rock of gold. According to studies Eminent , Colombia has the largest reserve of gold in South America and at the same time has the lowest investment in the modernization of mining. The main centers for gold mining in Colombia were popular during the pre-Hispanic era and during the English colony, but today are abandoned. However, using very basic techniques for the exploitation of this mineral, Colombian miners produce a total of 950 thousand troy ounces of gold per year in recent decades, according to the Bank of the Republic. Example Colombian rock art, "stone of laughter" in Rupestreweb .
Of course, this amount is much lower than production Peru and Chile, not because our sister countries have more gold than Colombia, but because Colombia has very little interest in developing mining technology and to progress to the gold regions of the country. According to Bullet Group Medellin, Colombia between 1492 and 1934 produced a total of 400 000 troy ounces of gold per year mine is that of water, With this data we can say that production is close to 90 million sum of ounces in that period of time. In this figure does not include everything that the English colonists sent to Europe, but the idea still persists that "all the gold in Colombia was sent to Madrid for the colony." The legend of El Dorado is not a accidental history who was born in Colombia and that the English conquerors sought with eagerness in the rainforest for wanting to find the golden city, this was everywhere and, technically, has not been seen yet, but we're standing on it.
