Detailed Solution

EI Dorado was the fabled city of gold and South America's great richness was the subject of legends in seventeenth-century Europe. Countless expeditions were set out in pursuit of these resources by the Europeans. One city in particular which was of interest was El Dorado. It was famously known as the “City of Gold”. The Americans had been isolated from the rest of the globe for millions of years before its 'discovery.' Precious metals, particularly silver, sourced from mines in present-day Peru and Mexico, added to Europe's wealth and helped to finance its trade with Asia.
