In the 15th century, the island of Tenerife was inhabited by light-skinned people of the Caucasian type.
Back in 2016, the world was shocked by the news of a sensational find - in the Canary Islands, namely in Tenerife, the mummies of real giants were found.
In the same year, Spanish scientists reported that the giants were being thoroughly investigated, a 3D scan of a representative of the ancient Guanche people - the aborigines who lived in the Canary Islands - was being carried out.
The scanner, which has a low level of radiation but very high resolution, allows X-rays to penetrate an object and obtains a huge amount of information in just one scan.
The mummy itself was provided for research by the National Archaeological Museum in Madrid. Using scanning technology, experts hope to learn more about how people lived, what killed them, and about the funeral rituals that were performed.
The mummies were neatly transported to the University Hospital Quironsalud Madrid (HUQSM), the only facility with the latest in scanning technology. As part of this process, the mummies were scanned and ready to be examined by a team of doctors that included Vicente Martinez de Vega, Javier'er Carrascoso and Silvia Badillo Rodriguez, Carmen Perez Di, Libra Gomez Espinosa and Esther Pons.

The group was accompanied during the investigation of the mummies by the film crew of the national channel RTVE.
But several years have passed, and no information about these mummies and the results of research has been published. And this is already the secret of history. What are scientists trying to hide from humanity? Why were the aborigines of the island of Tenerife Giants?
If you delve deeper into the history, you can learn something about the mysterious Guanches from the island of Homera.

Judging by the drawings of contemporaries who still found Guanches alive, somehow they do not look very much like the usual image of "natives and aborigines." The origin of the guanches is unknown to scientists. But some information about their appearance and life has been preserved.
In the north of Tenerife there lived people with dark blond hair, and to the south - brunettes. According to Spanish and other conquerors, in the 15th century, the island of Tenerife was inhabited by light-skinned people of the Caucasoid type, among whom there were people with gray and blue eyes and with brown or red hair.
French Norman Jean de Bettencourt described in detail the strange language of the Guanches, who supposedly could understand the speech of their fellow tribesmen, without uttering a sound and only moving their lips, and also whistling to talk at a distance of up to 15 kilometers. Now hypotheses are being put forward about their connection with the ancient myth of Atlantis. Maybe the Guanches are representatives of an extinct civilization.
