Chiminigagua and the Origen of ChibchaLuis Alberto Acuña

This mural (1960–70s) reimagines the Chibcha creation myth. At center, the god Chiminigagua releases radiant birds to bring light to the cosmos. To his right stands Bachué with her son Iguaque, founders of the Muisca people. At left is Chaquén, guardian of lands and borders. The scene is set at the sacred Iguaque Lagoon, the cradle of Muisca origin.
