Historia y restos de los guanches

- english below -



Los guanches, grupo étnico y pueblo indígena de las Islas Canarias, han vivido durante mucho tiempo en estas islas totalmente aislados del resto del mundo. Esta tribu ha dejado asombrosos vestigios que siguen intrigando a antropólogos y arqueólogos.

 

Existen extrañas leyendas sobre esta civilización, especialmente que podrían ser habitantes de la Atlántida o descendientes de los vikingos.  Algunos de los más eminentes antropólogos indican que la pista más probable es que fueran bereberes del norte de África, según el estudio del material genético o los restos de escritura guanche idénticos a otros encontrados en Libia y Argelia.

 

Los guanches construyeron la monumental ciudadela de Santa Lucía. Demuestra que esta tribu tenía conocimientos arquitectónicos avanzados. Los guanches pudieron cavar grandes silos en lo alto de la montaña para almacenar sus reservas.

 

Otro lugar sagrado de los guanches parece ser Balos. Se han encontrado restos de una escritura antigua, pero aún no se ha podido descifrar por su antigüedad. Probablemente se dejó de utilizar varios siglos antes de Cristo, dice la BBC.




The Guanches, an ethnic group and indigenous people of the Canary Islands, have long lived in total isolation from the rest of the world on these islands. This tribe has left astonishing remains that continue to intrigue anthropologists and archaeologists.

 

There are strange legends about this civilisation, notably that they could be inhabitants of Atlantis or descendants of the Vikings.  Some of the most eminent anthropologists indicate that the most likely lead is that they were Berbers from North Africa, based on the study of genetic material or the remains of Guanche writing identical to others found in Libya and Algeria.

 

The Guanches built the monumental citadel of Santa Lucia. It shows that this tribe had advanced architectural knowledge. The Guanches were able to dig large silos high in the mountain to store their reserves.

 

Another sacred place of the Guanches seems to be Balos. Traces of an ancient script have been found there, but it has not yet been deciphered because it is so old. It was probably stopped being used several centuries before Christ, says the BBC.
