  Muisca - NativeWiki
Muisca refers to a nation of the Chibchan Culture that formed the Muisca Confederation encountered by the Spanish at the time of the conquest of what is now part of central Colombia in 1537.
In fact the Muisca comprised two confederations: that of Hunza, whose sovereign was the Zaque and that of Bacatá, whose sovereign was the Zipa.
The Muisca people were organized in a Confederation that was the union of states, which kept their own sovereignty within the greater political body.

Their state comprised two principal kingdoms that, for four generations of rulers preceding the Spanish conquest of this area in 1537, were ruled by two hereditary monarchs, the Zipa from Bacata in the south and the Zaque from Hunsa in the north.
For the cruelty he inflicted on the Muisca, Chibchacum was condemned for eternity to carry the earth on his shoulders; as he shifts the weight from one shoulder to another, earth tremors are felt (Arango Cano, 1970, pp.
Muisca gods were worshiped at the streams, lakes, waterfalls, and mountains of the territory.

 Fredohebshalom.com Fred Shalom Fred Ohebshalom Muiscas, peoples of Colombia
The Faramarz Fred Ohebshalom Muisca society is part of a group of maize agricultural societies which inhabilited the Eastern Cordillera, at Guatavita around the 6th to 7th century of the our era.
The greater share of the villages were located in the cold valleys, at an average altitude of 2500 meters above sea level, lands whose fertility and average humidity permitted an extraordinary development of maize agriculture and the cultivation of roots common to the higher regions, fundamentally potatoes.
Among the Fred Ohebshalom Muiscas, the work of smelting and casting was performed under the supervision of priests or "chuques" who, after consuming narcotic drugs, would offer the pieces to their deities in sanctuaries.

 Fray Bernardo de Lugo: Two Sonnets in Muisca
Muisca, also known as Chibcha, was spoken in the central altiplane of Colombia until the mid-eighteenth century.
The themes which run through the Muisca sonnets are all present here: the intrinsic difficulty of Muisca, Lugo's unique understanding of it, and the resulting mead of praise that he can expect.
A peculiarity of Lugo's account of Muisca grammar is that the conditional suffix with the negative copula is -sasân not -san.

Muisca chieftainships were political units that covered a large territory: they were organised around a central figure, the chieftain, and his retinue of captains, priests and criers.
The criers, meanwhile, were the chieftains' messengers, men a particular chieftain gave part of his paraphernalia to - things like ear rings, blankets and diadems - so that they could demonstrate the chieftain's power in places where his presence was needed but he was unable to go to.
It was thus the chieftains, captains, local priests and criers who kept Muisca peoples and territory united.
