Accurate information about the Guanches is hard to find as establishment academia seem to work very hard to obscure certain aspects of history because it undermines the narrative which is used to push particular political agendas.

The guanches in Canaryislands are ethnical Amazighs , who was forced by the Roman's back in the day to convert or die. We are one people Tamazgha United
We the guanches have nothing to do with the ethnical Amazighs. That's only something like an habit used by people related to non demonstrated theories. We are the guanches, and thats all. The same people who were here before the arrive of the invaders.
@@Shechiuata You have the same script (writing style) that we have in North Africa , and you used to bury your dead in the same way as the ancient North Africans, and you also have pyramids like the one in North Africa (Algeria) And other evidence proving that you are a branch of the Amazigh, the Amazigh people (berbers)have many branches in North Africa, for example in Algeria there are more than 5 branches , and all we share customs, traditions and language
@@massinissaziriamazigh8122 there are no evidence anywhere of any relationship between the guanches and the amazigh cultures. Nobody have proved such thing, never.

Antes de los españoles, junto con los guanchos, también vivían allí los eslavos, tenían ojos azules y cabello claro. Huyeron de las tierras del🤫 actual Marruecos. La historia está encubierta por el Vaticano.
Check out the Anaga mountain range (also on Tenerife). It has a different biome (lorbeer Wälder in german) which is only found on Canaries and the Azores I believe.
Well my comment is that I just read a more than interesting article that says, with accuracy of details as to the direction to find the place based on the original story's author, that Atlantis could have been a massive island whose mountains are now Madeira and Canary islands. Too bad UA-cam does not allow to paste a website address here. The name of the site is Answers in Genesis. That aboriginal statue in the thumb looks pretty much Greek to me. Plato says "All that is left of Atlantis are some islands as 'skeleton' of what once was, but the soft and good land has fallen". I am looking here and there to see if undersea explorations have been done between these islands.
UNDERSEA EXPLORATIONS is the most important keyword. This is hardly taken seriously to this day! You can explore so many secrets of lost civilizations with it, also using Underwater LIDAR! We need underwater researchers like James Cameron, James Ballard, Clive Cusslers Numa and Franck Goddio to investigate all this riddles, if the state dogmatists don't make their job.
Beautiful raw island and like the rest of the native North Africans the Guanches have been opressed and slaughtered by their colonizers to then be forgotten. ⵜⵉⵔⴻⵍⵉ ⵉ ⵎⴰⵔⴰ ⵉⵎⴰⵣⵉⵖⴻⵏ Thirelli i mara Imazighen

Dear Tom, the Canary Islands are not a Spanish colony! The Canary Islands are an autonomous region of Spain with their own parlament and the people of the Canary Islands are Spanish and have the same the Spanish people of the peninsular. I would as you, is Gibraltar a colony of UK? Still, good video!
Very interesting as I recently found my mitochondrial dna links me to the haplogroup H1cf which I found was related to the Guanches. All my g-grandmothers on this line were French Canadian. I also have farmed lavender for the farmers market for many years.
its related to the Guanches but comes from North Africa. the guanches genetically were north africans who made their way to the islands thousands of years ago. the H1cf lineage is restricted to Central North Africa.
Wonderful video!! i travelled around Tenerife several times and learnt that the sap of the dragon tree (a.k.a Dragons blood) is a really good astringent when applied to the skin, a natural preservative, used a lot in aromatherapy .

I visited the stone structures and archaeological sites on La Palma at La Zarza and La Zarzita, in Garafía where there are ancient spiral rock carvings although the authorities like to pass them off as signs of 'good pasture and nearby sources of water to feed the animals'. I personally do not believe that explanation as there are too many of them together (29 in total). I also believe that the 'authorities' do not want to recognise them as significant as they do not want to encourage the Canarians to want to start connecting with their routes. This was particularly relevant during Franco's dictatorship and during the period when the Canarians were looking for independence from Spain.
Great video! absolutely love how you portrayed the history of the guanches. The Canary islands at nowadays are still seen through a colonial lense, being mass tourism the latest form of erasing past history. One very interesting fact of the old Canarians is that they moved up and down mountains using long spears with which they could jump from 30 metres: ua-cam.com/video/WpAj_WFOJng/v-deo.html&ab_channel=NationalGeographic

A hypothesis of the origin of the native population of the Canary Islands. The guanches. The Phoenicians have an older history of their existence in navigation in the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean. The Phoenicians were looking for lands and populations with which to trade, they were not fighting for conquest. They built ports where they came periodically to exchange goods with the native populations. When they circumnavigated Africa, the journey took a long time, they landed on a fertile shore and planted wheat, leaving after the harvest. Trade in unknown areas was done by leaving on the shore what they had in exchange and receiving with them the native goods being at a distance. Only if they agreed with the parity did they take the goods, otherwise they waited for the quantities or goods to change. That means they were peaceful and fair. So it seems that discovering the Canary Islands most likely populated them with people to meet their trade and supply needs for their long journeys in the area. So they taught them to grow wheat, to salt fish, to produce garum, which was very expensive, to produce purple. The people of that time had embalming techniques, built pyramids, so they were in contact with Egyptian civilization. They could also come from the slave trade in the Mediterranean basin. Why is this hypothesis very plausible? Because it was later found that these people did not know how to navigate (they were brought by good Phoenician navigators), caves were discovered by the ocean used as grain depots, had the technique of mummification, built pyramids, terraced the islands for agriculture, had the science of irrigation. After the destruction of Carthage by the Romans, the islands were visited by the Greeks and then by the Romans. After the fall of the Roman Empire, the islands were forgotten and returned to the primitive stage, when they were conquered by the Spaniards after more than 1000 years of isolation.
The Canaries used to be connected to mainland Africa until the end of the last ice age and rise of the sea level separated the land into an archipelago
The real name of the island is Zen Zen ("resonance.") Guanche is the spanish deform of "wa-n zen": the (person) that´s is from Zen. in Tamazight.The people of Canary islands were indigenous not Aborigins because its certaicn that thee come to the islands from north africa, like american natives it´s know come throw the Bering Pass from Asia. Tenerife means in bereber lenguage "desert or wasteland of Snow": Tenere-idfel. from the visión of the naturals of the La Palma island over the sea of clouds. The great volcano, arrased land and, in the winters, snowed. Teide come of "Taidit:" female dog (of inferno) and the demon who inhabit in in her entrails was called "Guayota". in Tamazigh the verbe ut- ot wut is hit or kick someone o some thing. the traducción is: wa-wiut (the (demon) that´s hit. surely by volcanic tremors and earthquakes.

Fandabi Dozi: Would you mind explaining & showing how to do some of the stuff from the book "Born Fighting"? I remember one with the Picts supposedly being able to go all day on something the size of a bean & I think that has to do with that plant you showed that was used as an appetite suppressant. There seems to have been training to handle the weather & water of the area, too.
These guanches look so much like this were german tribes members. For me there are only 3 possibilities, why they look so: 1. they are survivors of Atlantis cataclysm in the Younger Dryas period, where the sealevel was up to 160 m deeper, before the comet debris smashed into the earth crust and released all the water stored in it. 2. they are descendants from the seapeople of the northsea, that fled from the famine caused by the islandic volcano Hekla into the mediterranean sea about 1200 bc. The fenicians and philisters are also their descendants. 3. both possibilities. The first refugees mixed with the later refugees, but all from Hyperborean, Atlantean or Aryan genetic origin.
Dude- I really like your video, I have not looked at any other of your stuff but I will - the quality and succinct manner were excellent. Of course I am biased .... I am Scottish living in canaries for 2 years and I am never out of the Barrancos and what hey hold.. I was just spending last night in the Barrancos and the amount of knowledge and lore in them is something. There are also a lot of mushrooms in La Palma I recommend going here to Barrancos like Fagundo where you can see many Guaunches housing... however there they are called another name beginning with A- sounds like Agua.... Go to La Palma Followed and dontated
It's not pronounced the way you named that mountain. It's a volcanic area, and it's call El Tei-de. I hyphenated the word so you can pronounce it correctly. It doesn't have an "A" sound at the end.
Why is it so hard for the Spanish and Portuguese to acknowledge their history? Your ancestors sailed there, killed the inhabitants and took the land. That makes these islands former colonies. Deal with it.
i was wondering when it got to the part where someone came in and killed them all.. i don't see many people in you video its only 3:50 into the video we will wait and see
Hi Fandabi Dozi .I would like to give you some observations regarding the information you've provided in your introduction as a Native from Tenerife. First, the Canary Islands are 13 years short (1833) to have become a Province of Spain 200 years ago. Although the Berbers are the closest identifiable relatives of the Guanches, it is deduced that important human movements (e.g., the Islamic-Arabic conquest of the Berbers) have reshaped Northwest Africa after the migratory wave to the Canary Islands" and the "results support, from a maternal perspective, the supposition that since the end of the 16th century, at least, two-thirds of the Canarian population had an indigenous substrate, as a missing genoma not present in the Continental side regarding a mtDNA haplogroup U subclade U6b1 is Canarian-specific and is the most common mtDNA haplogroup found in aboriginal Guanche archaeological burial sites. Plus on Tenerife and La Palma aborigines found the majority of mt-DNA haplogroups belonging to the Eurasian clades such as H/HV/U*/R. on Tenerife Aborigines used a total sample of 71 aborigines and found that the frequency of the Cambridge Reference Sequence (CRS) which belongs to the European haplogroup H2a2 was between 21.12% and 30.98%. Berber tribes ended up with marriage practices that were present in the Canary Island by XV century. Women could have several husbands which was a common practice among Guanches to keep the genepool fresh.
lol we north africans are still majority berber you re the mixed one who lost his culture and everything them having old european is expected since they spilt of north africa thousands of years ago so they are more unmixed than us you know that north africans middle easterners and europeans share a common ancestor
Hi thank you for your comment quote ( because Africa is a continent not a colour ) However I was talking about the original Guanches, who came from Africa before invaders. If the Spanish were the first Europeans to invade the canary’s, why do the Guanches look like Europeans. However I realise you don’t make the pictures, and did enjoy your video.
This is so interesting I did my dna and I have am 93% from Canary island 5 American Indian and rest from Africa. I have the same genegroup of the mummies they have exhumed. Not happy about them digging up my Ancestors and displaying them. I guess i don’t have any control over it or rights to them.

The Phoenicians have an older history of their existence in navigation in the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean. The Phoenicians were looking for lands and populations with which to trade, they were not fighting for conquest. They built ports where they came periodically to exchange goods with the native populations. When they circumnavigated Africa, the journey took a long time, they landed on a fertile shore and planted wheat, leaving after the harvest. Trade in unknown areas was done by leaving on the shore what they had in exchange and receiving with them the native goods being at a distance. Only if they agreed with the parity did they take the goods, otherwise they waited for the quantities or goods to change. That means they were peaceful and fair. So it seems that discovering the Canary Islands most likely populated them with people to meet their trade and supply needs for their long journeys in the area. So they taught them to grow wheat, to salt fish, to produce garum, which was very expensive, to produce purple. The people of that time had embalming techniques, built pyramids, so they were in contact with Egyptian civilization. They could also come from the slave trade in the Mediterranean basin. Why is this hypothesis very plausible? Because it was later found that these people did not know how to navigate (they were brought by good Phoenician navigators), caves were discovered by the ocean used as grain depots, had the technique of mummification, built pyramids, terraced the islands for agriculture, had the science of irrigation. After the destruction of Carthage by the Romans, the islands were visited by the Greeks and then by the Romans. After the fall of the Roman Empire, the islands were forgotten and returned to the primitive stage, when they were conquered by the Spaniards after more than 1000 years of isolation.
I like watching these videos of rare cultures of Africa especially of white or Caucasoid like skin and features. fascinates me like the Egyptians.
@Ken Penalosa nope
they are berbers
amzigh 🙌
Great video 👍 thanks
cool video, never even heard of these people
The Canaries used to be connected to mainland Africa until the end of the last ice age and rise of the sea level separated the land into an archipelago
Looks like a nice vacation!
It's not a "colony" it's officially a part of Spain so the term colony doesn't work
@Unicorn 12 Gibraltar isn't an official part of the "UK" it's a dependency, whereas the canaries are an official part of Spain
By your logic andalusia either its moroccan
It's ethnic Amazigh land area
It is of course a colony. And thanks very much to the author of the video for saying that clearly.
Well then that means French guiana isn't a colony by that logic because it's a French territory.
Entertaining and very informative. You should introduce your girlfriend and include her more in your videos.
Great video, thanks
The real name of the island is Zen Zen ("resonance.") Guanche is the spanish deform of "wa-n zen": the (person) that´s is from Zen. in Tamazight.The people of Canary islands were indigenous not Aborigins because its certaicn that thee come to the islands from north africa, like american natives it´s know come throw the Bering Pass from Asia. Tenerife means in bereber lenguage "desert or wasteland of Snow": Tenere-idfel. from the visión of the naturals of the La Palma island over the sea of clouds. The great volcano, arrased land and, in the winters, snowed. Teide come of "Taidit:" female dog (of inferno) and the demon who inhabit in in her entrails was called "Guayota". in Tamazigh the verbe ut- ot wut is hit or kick someone o some thing. the traducción is: wa-wiut (the (demon) that´s hit. surely by volcanic tremors and earthquakes.
amazing where did you find all that have you got any more?

Fandabi Dozi: Would you mind explaining & showing how to do some of the stuff from the book "Born Fighting"? I remember one with the Picts supposedly being able to go all day on something the size of a bean & I think that has to do with that plant you showed that was used as an appetite suppressant. There seems to have been training to handle the weather & water of the area, too.
just found your channel! cool stuff!
These guanches look so much like this were german tribes members. For me there are only 3 possibilities, why they look so:
1. they are survivors of Atlantis cataclysm in the Younger Dryas period, where the sealevel was up to 160 m deeper, before the comet debris smashed into the earth crust and released all the water stored in it.
2. they are descendants from the seapeople of the northsea, that fled from the famine caused by the islandic volcano Hekla into the mediterranean sea about 1200 bc. The fenicians and philisters are also their descendants.
3. both possibilities. The first refugees mixed with the later refugees, but all from Hyperborean, Atlantean or Aryan genetic origin.
they were north african canaarids/berberids. No connection to germany at all, they left north africa thousands of years ago to the islands.
👍🏼
Dude-
I really like your video, I have not looked at any other of your stuff but I will - the quality and succinct manner were excellent. Of course I am biased ....
I am Scottish living in canaries for 2 years and I am never out of the Barrancos and what hey hold..
I was just spending last night in the Barrancos and the amount of knowledge and lore in them is something.
There are also a lot of mushrooms in La Palma I recommend going here to Barrancos like Fagundo where you can see many Guaunches housing... however there they are called another name beginning with A- sounds like Agua....
Go to La Palma
Followed and dontated
Cool video!
Dna shows these people are from north africa and are amazigh people as a moroccan its nice to see sadly the spanish whiped them out
where i come from tom you would be called TAM ,atb from glasgow
Small percentage of my DNA is from the Guanches. Not sure which parentage.
Azul imazighn ❤
was that an aquifer you were walking on?
Yeah. In some areas they are unofficial walkways that tourists and locals use :)
It's not pronounced the way you named that mountain. It's a volcanic area, and it's call El Tei-de. I hyphenated the word so you can pronounce it correctly. It doesn't have an "A" sound at the end.
Amazigh people...
😊😊😊😊🌺🌺🌺
I'm apache native American and yeah they could be related with us some don't believe they are just Berber
@@officialVozie100 😊😊😊

Sorry mate , we're no a spanish colony, we are a Spanish region, maybe Scotland is an English colony, but we're not..
Why is it so hard for the Spanish and Portuguese to acknowledge their history?
Your ancestors sailed there, killed the inhabitants and took the land. That makes these islands former colonies. Deal with it.
The Canarian Islands are no colony of Spain!
It is autonomous and integral part of Spain
Do you live in Scotland?
6:30 blown down or cut down by Christian zealots?
i was wondering when it got to the part where someone came in and killed them all.. i don't see many people in you video its only 3:50 into the video we will wait and see
3000 years, no, the estimate is about 2000 years or shortly before
I was there this past winter and was surprised to find that the "Canary" name is from Canus, Latin for dog, not the bird.
Yeah I was surprised too! I heard one theory it was named after the dogs the Guanches brought over that then went Ferrell
No, Canarias is for amaziɣ kaanuri tribe.
Dog? Are you Sirius? 😉
The Guanches were exremely tall with white skin and often blue eyes. there are theories that their origins were from the mystical atlantis.
Hi Fandabi Dozi .I would like to give you some observations regarding the information you've provided in your introduction as a Native from Tenerife. First, the Canary Islands are 13 years short (1833) to have become a Province of Spain 200 years ago. Although the Berbers are the closest identifiable relatives of the Guanches, it is deduced that important human movements (e.g., the Islamic-Arabic conquest of the Berbers) have reshaped Northwest Africa after the migratory wave to the Canary Islands" and the "results support, from a maternal perspective, the supposition that since the end of the 16th century, at least, two-thirds of the Canarian population had an indigenous substrate, as a missing genoma not present in the Continental side regarding a mtDNA haplogroup U subclade U6b1 is Canarian-specific and is the most common mtDNA haplogroup found in aboriginal Guanche archaeological burial sites. Plus on Tenerife and La Palma aborigines found the majority of mt-DNA haplogroups belonging to the Eurasian clades such as H/HV/U*/R. on Tenerife Aborigines used a total sample of 71 aborigines and found that the frequency of the Cambridge Reference Sequence (CRS) which belongs to the European haplogroup H2a2 was between 21.12% and 30.98%. Berber tribes ended up with marriage practices that were present in the Canary Island by XV century. Women could have several husbands which was a common practice among Guanches to keep the genepool fresh.
lol we north africans are still majority berber you re the mixed one who lost his culture and everything them having old european is expected since they spilt of north africa thousands of years ago so they are more unmixed than us you know that north africans middle easterners and europeans share a common ancestor
The Canary Islands are still a Spanish colony although Spain is more interested in calling it a province. But they are African islands
The Canary Islands are not a colony of Spain, to begin with, my friend! They are a Spanish Region!
Guanche are Real inhabitant of North African they are Atlantis people
Canary islands, melilla and cetua Are ethnical Amazigh's...
I wonder if they recognize that. Do they consider themselves Amazigh, or they’re now Europeans...? Anyone to answer. I have no knowledge in this topic
@@cherrypiekn4963 yes they consider themselves as berbers
Nope, they belong to spain, you lost brah, deal with it.
@@cherrypiekn4963 eh I am a descendant of Gaunches. I consider myself mainly European.
@@BlitzOfTheReich because you are spanish and not à real descendant of guanches since they've been vanished
They probably also brought weapons and tools from Africa.
So they came over by boats but forgot how to build boats after time? The Spanish love their aboriginal bashing don't they?
Hi thank you for your comment quote ( because Africa is a continent not a colour )
However I was talking about the original Guanches, who came from Africa before invaders. If the Spanish were the first Europeans to invade the canary’s, why do the Guanches look like Europeans. However I realise you don’t make the pictures, and did enjoy your video.
They are island Berbers
This is so interesting I did my dna and I have am 93% from Canary island 5 American Indian and rest from Africa. I have the same genegroup of the mummies they have exhumed. Not happy about them digging up my Ancestors and displaying them. I guess i don’t have any control over it or rights to them.
Did a DNA test & I share DNA with the discovered mummies
Indigenous North African
you use the word aborigine the way we use the word native when i hear it i think australia .. learn somthing everyday if your lucky
Very interesting! How about living viking life in Sweden? Contact me.
Will do man. I love Sweden and would love to go back one day :)

Nice one man! ;)
Sorry. Couldn’t help myself

Omgosh. I've just found out that my Archeogentics are from here...mind blown. I have aboriginal DNA?
Lone Tesar so u are Berber ?
@@khalilbn Guanche...from the Canary Islands. LOLOLOL. Bizarre!!
@@nolasway878 yeah but there is planty of studies that assume guanche ppl are from north africa and related to berber ppl
@@khalilbn Really? My results also show Kenya Deloraine Farm...I don't know much about Berber people. Gosh...in fact that was the stronger archaeogenetic DNA makeup KDF? New to all this, so thanks for the info.
@@nolasway878 yep, guanches were amazigh (berbers). They were just very isolated. While berbers from mainland were connected to other mediterranean people, guanches remained alone
