This sculpture was put in July of 2018 and was made by Maestro Antonio Frío, with the company of Carlos Rodríguez and Mauricio Muñoz. It represents the Zipa Tisquesusa, which is said to have been the Zipa of the lands of Bogotá and was assassinated by the colonizers in 1538.
Popón, famous mohan of the town of Ubaque, had predicted to zipa Tisquesusa that some foreigners would come to his territory and they would draw his blood, in which he would die wrapped. This omen made him look with fear at the proximity of the Spaniards and avoid contact with them. When he heard about the advance of the invaders through his territory, he sent spies to Suesca, where they had gone, to inform him about the foreigners, their weapons, war prevention, number of soldiers and how many warriors he could expel. While the spies were in Suesca, the death of a horse took place, which allowed them to realize that horse and knight did not form a unit, as they had believed so far.
Based on the information that his spies gave him, Tisquesusa left his enclosure in Bogota, on his golden litter, and settled in Nemocón. This motivated the Spaniards to leave for that town. During the trip, the rearguard of Gonzalo Jiménez de Quesada was attacked by 600 warriors from Bogotá, who were repelled. The reports obtained by Tisquesusa on the military capacity of the Spaniards and, especially, on the unknown "thunders" that issued the arquebuses, induced him to retire to his strong house in Cajicá, where he told his warriors: "There is no resistance I do not find power against these children of the sun, because as a thing of the sky they have thunder and shoot lightning. This my strong house, although full of weapons, is not enough defense for such powerful people! ", And without stopping he returned with all haste to his palace in Bogota. Once there he ordered the evacuation of the town, in such a way that when the Spaniards arrived in his search they found him abandoned. Faced with the impossibility of finding the zipa, the Spaniards left again to the north and after submitting to the zaque they returned to look for Tisquesusa.
