Who was the priest that led of the seven golden cities were true?

Answer 1

The priest who is often associated with the legend of the Seven Golden Cities is Father Marcos de Niza. In the 1530s, he claimed to have discovered one of these cities, believed to be filled with gold, in present-day Arizona. His reports inspired further explorations, notably by Spanish conquistadors like Francisco Vázquez de Coronado, although the existence of such cities was never substantiated. De Niza's accounts contributed to the myth of the Seven Cities of Cibola, which became a significant part of Spanish explorations in the Americas.
