Guanches (also: Guanchis or Guanchetos), now extinct as an AMAZIGH people were the first known inhabitants of the Canary Islands, having migrated to the archipelago sometime between 20.000 BC to 9000 BC . Their culture as such has since disappeared, although traces of it can still be found, an example being the "whistle" Silbo language of La Gomera Island.
The language of EL Guanches is Taguanciet semilar to Tassoussit and Tachelhit of Moroccans in Atlas Mountains ,Taguanciet another Atlantic Amazigh language
Genetic evidence shows that northern African peoples (most likely descendants of the Amazighs of Aterians/ Iberu-Maurisians types ) made a significant contribution to the aboriginal population of the Canaries following desertification of the Sahara at some point before 10.000BC. Linguistic evidence suggests ties between Guanche language and the Berber languages of northern Africa, particularly when comparing number systems. Research into the genetics of the Guanche population have led to the conclusion that they share an ancestry with Berber peoples

The islands were visited by a number of peoples within recorded history. The Numidians, and Carthaginians knew of the islands and made frequent visits,[including expeditions dispatched from Mogador by Juba The Romans visited the Canaries between the 1st and 4th centuries AD, judging from Roman artefacts found on the island of Lanzarote. These show that Romans did trade with the Canaries, though there is no evidence of their ever settling there. Archaeology of the Canaries seem to reflect diverse levels of technology, some differing from the Neolithic culture that was encountered at the time of conquest.

  • nice song it's like the song of idir avava inouva

  • @TGTXXX I know there is a small pyramid in the Island of Crete, and I also read that they found a pyramid in the Balkans. They thought it was a hill or a mountain, because of the over growth.

  • @TGTXXX "Africa" does not equal Black/Negroid.. The Ancient Egyptians and the Guanches were White but NOT Aryan (Indo-European). There are White groups that are not part of the Indo-European family (like the Finns & Basques), in fact all Whites came from Eurasia or Asia, not Europe itself - ancient migrations saw Whites, or rather Caucasoids, travel over most of the World, through Eurasia, to the Near and Middle East, Northern Africa and possibly even to America.

  • The Canary Islands are located in the western of Africa, near of the African mainland .

    My questions are,

    Why do most of the pyramids are located in or near Africa.

    And If the Aryans who built the pyramids why we don't find any pyramid in Europe

  • Que es el nombre de esta cancion y el persona que lo cantar?

  • @hahahahaha19921

    because berbers were originally white same as the guanches

    the white man didnt originate from europe, thats where the confusion and disbelief sets in with people

  • @canario1884 Lol berbers look more white than canary island people hahaha

  • @Tamaran39 Yes the famous Gofio, I remember how I use to eat it when I was a little kid. Yeah there are still some Guanche words in the Canary Islander Spanish, as well as studies have shown that modern day canary Islander carry on average about 20% of North African genes, which transalates into Guanche genes probably.

  • Not all is lost, you still retain words used to describe religious concepts, titles and descriptions, weapons, food, clothes and utensils, food, animals and plants, mountains, waters and places, some of the varied nature, some phrases and proper names as Acoraida Arminda, Doramas, Ganarigua, Guayarmina, Tenaguana, Guacimara, Azuguahe etc

    Even some families still use some Guanche words as "Gofio" or "Baifo" which is the breeding of goats.

  • je vous aime mes freres imazghn des aknaris
