Is it true that the legend of El Dorado originated from a Muisca ritual?

Yes. A Wikipedia article states the El Dorado legend originated in Spanish accounts of a Muisca ruler who covered himself in gold dust and washed it off in a sacred lake, and an archaeology abstract links Muisca investiture rituals at Lake Guatavita to the myth. Other sources only incidentally associate the Muisca with El Dorado.
