Statues of Guanche kings (menceys) in Candelaria city in Tenerife islands. Canary Islands

" Tenerife mummies are not as the egyptian ones, the difference between them is that in Tenerife ones their guts were not removed. Some experts think that the Tenerife mummification process is an evolution from the egyptian but this is just a hypothesis. Anyway, most of the prehispanic history of Canary Islands remains a mistery so feel free to speculate about it. As a curiosity, mummies only exist in Egypt an Canary Islands in all over north Africa so experts still debate about how the f.... did the aboriginal people know about this technique if they are supossed to be former berbers (north Africa inhabitants). Even the extintion of the guanches is a myth, part of their ancient culture is still alive in the canaries, gomeran whistle, shepherd's leap, etc are straight taken from the guanche people. IMAO, that's because the berbers (and so the guanches) were white caucasians and they just mixed with the spanish people or just assimilated their culture . "
