Next Thursday, October 19th, at 8:00 PM, the Siyâsa Museum will present the book of short stories by Cuban and Spanish archaeologist Francisco Escobar, "The Treasure of the Great Sinú."

The Treasure of the Great Sinú and other stories is a fictional novel consisting of three stories set chronologically between the late 15th century and the mid-16th century, and a fourth story that, although set in the present day, is closely related to one of the narratives from the early 16th century.
