Mit vielen Legenden und ungel\u00f6sten Geheimnissen gingen die Kanarischen Inseln in die Geschichtsschreibung ein. Man vermutete hier sogar den versunkenen Kontinent Atlantis, der westlich von Afrika gelegen haben soll und dessen letzte \u00dcberreste die Kanarischen Inseln sein k\u00f6nnten.<\/p>\n
Um 40 v. Chr. soll nach Angaben des r\u00f6mischen Schriftstellers Plinius eine Expedition, die der maurische K\u00f6nig Juball leitete, die Inseln entdeckt haben.<\/p>\n
Die Entdecker erz\u00e4hlten von gro\u00dfen, b\u00f6sen Hunden, die die Inseln bewachten. Vermutlich leiten die Kanarischen Inseln ihren Namen von diesen Hunden ab (lat. canis: Hund) und nicht, wie h\u00e4ufig vermutet wird, von den Kanarienv\u00f6geln. Diese haben n\u00e4mlich umgekehrt ihren Namen von der Inselgruppe erhalten.<\/p>\n
Im Mittelalter verirrten sich arabische und europ\u00e4ische Abenteurer hierher. Sie fanden eine sonderbare Menschenrasse mit blauen Augen, blonden Haaren und mysteri\u00f6ser Herkunft vor: die Guanchen.<\/p>\n
Sie geben der Wissenschaft bis heute R\u00e4tsel auf. Wahrscheinlich ist, dass sie einem nomadischen Volksstamm aus dem n\u00f6rdlichen Afrika angeh\u00f6rten, der w\u00e4hrend der gro\u00dfen V\u00f6lkerwanderung auf den Inseln heimisch wurde. Erstaunlich ist jedoch, dass sie \u2014 obwohl sie auf den Inseln lebten \u2014 vom Schiffbau keine Ahnung hatten und somit auch keine Verbindung zwischen den Inseln bestand.<\/p>\n
Ebenso gibt zu denken, dass die Guanchen zwar ein einfaches Hirten- und Bauernvolk waren, ihre Toten aber nach \u00e4gyptischem Vorbild einbalsamierten, was wiederum auf eine hoch entwickelte Kultur schlie\u00dfen l\u00e4sst. Ihre Sprache konnte man in keine der bekannten Sprachgruppen einordnen.<\/p>\n","protected":false,"gt_translate_keys":[{"key":"rendered","format":"html"}]},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
