The goldwork of the Chibchas was kept in various forms such as figurines, jewelry, and ceremonial objects. These gold items were often found in tombs and sacred sites, demonstrating their significance in the Chibcha culture as symbols of power, status, and spirituality.
Miners likely kept the location of gold mines a secret to protect their investment and to prevent other miners from competing with them. By keeping the location private, they could work undisturbed and maximize their own profits. Additionally, revealing the location could lead to overcrowding and depletion of the gold deposits, reducing the potential returns for the original discoverers.
People who dig silver and gold typically work in mines or mineral exploration sites. These can be underground mines, open-pit mines, or placer deposits where the precious metals are extracted from the earth.
The Spaniards melted down much of the Aztec gold and treasures they found to create coins and other objects. They also sent large quantities of the gold back to Spain to fund the Spanish empire and enrich the Spanish crown. Some of the treasures were kept by conquistadors as well.
Both Spanish explorers and conquistadors were searching for gold and silver in the New World, driven by the desire for wealth and glory. Catholic missionaries, on the other hand, were seeking to spread Christianity and convert the indigenous populations to Catholicism through their missions work.
The early explorer who set up a plantation relying on slave labor to extract gold was Christopher Columbus. He established the first Spanish colony in the Americas on the island of Hispaniola (now Haiti and the Dominican Republic) and implemented a system where indigenous people were forced to work in mines to extract gold.
