El Dorado - City Under Water

Lake Guatavita is rumored to be the lake where the Golden King washes off the gold dust he is covered with in a ritual that stretches over several days. Several trinkets made of gold and covered in precious stones have been found in the water, and our conquistador has started an ambitious project: Try and drain the lake by using a 'bucket chain' of laborers. Though they have worked tirelessly for three months, the water level has only been reduced by ten feet, and only a small amount of gold has been recovered.
