However, Eldorado is not a place but a person. The whole journey of europians to find a golden city, is in vain. Eldorado's poem is related to the symbol of time in 1849 in California, where the attitude of the Muisca tribe is different from the people of Europe who see gold as a symbol of wealth, as well as power. Furthermore, the minds of Europeans who heard the story were only fascinated by how much gold was thrown into the lake or buried in shrines throughout Colombia. Not the meaning of gold itself. That is why Poe revealead a poem entitled Eldorado which means that Eldorado itself was actually a rich king who had covered his entire body with a gold. Keywords: Semiotic, triadic model
