Best.-Nr. 3247Americas: Amsterdam Francois Halma 1705. Copper engraved map of Guyana by N. Sanson from Halma's Algemeene Werelde Beschryving Vol. 3 Black and white; title in Dutch; verso blank; strapwork title cartouche. The map shows a large lake or inland sea Lac ou Mer que les Caribes appellent Parime les Iaoyi Roponowini. and located on its shores the mythical city of El Dorado or Manoa. Lake Parime or Lake Parima is a legendary lake located in South America. It was reputedly the location of the fabled city of El Dorado also known as Manoa much sought-after by European explorers. Repeated attempts to find the lake failed to confirm its existence and it was dismissed as a myth along with the city. The search for Lake Parime led explorers to map the rivers and other features of southern Venezuela northern Brazil and southwestern Guyana before the lake's existence was definitively disproved in the early 19th century. Some explorers proposed that the seasonal flooding of the Rupununi savannah may have been misidentified as a lake. Recent geological investigations suggest that a lake may have existed in northern Brazil but that it dried up some time in the 18th century. Both "Manoa" Arawak language and "Parime" Carib language are believed to mean "big lake".
