Metal puck picture
[edit]There is not a picture of a metal puck or tejo, kind of missing the point aren't we? If you can please add a very nice pic to the gallery it will be highly appreciated. Thanks! --Camilo Sánchez Talk to me 23:55, 21 July 2013 (UTC)

[edit]I've deleted this part: "One of the common misconceptions is that this sport originated with the Muisca people whom it was believed would play with a golden disc. This theory seems unlikely since the Muisca people didn't have gold in large quantities and, therefore, it is unlikely they would use it for play."
- it is originating from from this website; "En cuanto al disco de oro que afirman fue utilizado en los comienzos del juego por los aborígenes, baste recordar que los Muiscas no tenían ese valioso mineral, el cual era obtenido en canje con el comercio con indígenas de fuera. Así pues, es muy improbable que ello sea así." - "es muy improbable" = is very unlikely. Site has no author for this article, only general names listed at the bottom
- gold was available to the Muisca people in great quantities and used for various rituals, see El Dorado, Muisca raft and other articles on the Muisca people
- references to the contrary: 1; "Estos indígenas usaban un disco de oro llamado zepguagoscua de aproximadamente 680 gramos de peso. Luego, el oro fue sustituido por piedra y actualmente se usa uno de metal del mismo peso", 2; "Es un deporte que practicaban los indígenas que habitaban lo que hoy son los departamentos de Cundinamarca y Boyacá, que pertenecían a la cultura muisca", aseguró el profesor de historia y aficionado, Luis Moreno", 3; "El turmequé se jugaba con un disco de oro llamado "zepguagoscua", que era conseguido por el trueque o canje que hacían con indígenas de otras partes del país. El tejo desde sus inicios, ha consistido en lanzar el disco, ya sea, el de oro que usaban los Muiscas, o el metálico, con el que actualmente se practica."
Will work on the article and any help is welcome. It's part of the project about the Muisca people I am doing (see user page for New articles (41 now in 3 weeks)) and other contributions, Tisquesusa (talk) 01:30, 11 May 2016 (UTC)
