Legends of Cibola suggested great riches, such as one that suggested "the city streets were paved with gold." In actuality, no huge accumulation of gold was made by any Native American tribes. The much smaller amounts that the Spanish found had been mined over hundreds of years with primitive technology.

Why were violent conflicts between early explorers so rare?

Violent conflicts between early explorers were rare primarily due to the explorers' focus on trade and diplomacy rather than conquest. Many explorers sought alliances with indigenous populations to facilitate their objectives, often relying on negotiation and cooperation for resources. Additionally, the logistical challenges of maintaining large military forces in unfamiliar territories made direct confrontations less feasible. Lastly, mutual misunderstandings and differing cultural contexts often led to a preference for peaceful interactions over violent confrontations.
