The origins of the first inhabitants of the Canary Islands are still a mystery. A great mystery. The volcanic origin of the islands rules out the possibility that any population existed. Therefore, the first inhabitants of the islands must have come from somewhere. But where? And what is more unusual, how did they get there?
To answer these questions we will have to ask others like: Who were they? Who made up this strange ethnicity that inhabited the islands? Were they Vikings or Romans, Phoenicians or Egyptians? Or maybe, heirs of ancient peoples that have disappeared over time? Is the Berber origin theory valid on all the islands? Moreover, is it valid for any?
Written in clear, concise language, the book answers some of these questions, but, above all, it poses further questions: How did they live? How did they dress? What was their society like? Did they live in cities? How did they have fun? Did they really disappear as we have been told?
The primitive and rough image we have of the Guanches today will be dispelled as we immerse ourselves in the fascinating and mysterious world of the ancient inhabitants of the Canary Islands.
