Artificial Deformation of the Skull
The upper dotted line, A, represents the shape of the European forehead; the next line, B, that of the Australian; the next, C, that of the Mound Builder of the United States; the next, D, that of the Guanche of the Canary Islands; and the next, E, that of a skull from the Inca cemetery of Peru.
242) that the Mound Builders and Peruvians of America, and the Neolithic people of France and the Canary Islands, had alike an extraordinary custom of boring a circular bole in the top of the skulls of their dead, so that the soul might readily pass in and out.
Corroborating Circumstances
How comes it that the sandals upon the feet of the statue of Chacmol, discovered at Chichen Itza, are "exact representations of those found on the feet of the Guanches, the early inhabitants of the Canary Islands, whose mummies are occasionally discovered in the eaves of Teneriffe?" Dr.
"Some stones have recently been discovered in Hierro and Las Palmas (Canary Islands), bearing sculptured symbols similar
Bertholet, the historiographer of the Canary Islands, to conclude that the first inhabitants of the Canaries and those of the great West were one in race." (Benjamin, "The Atlantic Islands," p.
266), declares, "With regard to the primitive dolichocephalæ of America I entertain a hypothesis still more bold, namely, that they are nearly related to the Guanches in the Canary Islands, and to the Atlantic populations of Africa, the Moors, Tuaricks, Copts, etc., which Latham comprises under the name of Egyptian-Atlantidæ.
We find one and the same form of skull in the Canary Islands, in front of the African coast, and in the Carib Islands, on the opposite coast, which faces Africa.
That the Guanches of the Canary Islands, supposed to be a remnant of the Atlantean population, preserved their dead as mummies.
The Indentity of the Civilizations of the Old World and the New
Religious Beliefs.--The Guanches of the Canary Islands, who were probably a fragment of the old Atlantean population, believed in the immortality of the soul and the resurrection of
The Story of Atlantis
Professor Retzius, in his Smithsonian Report, considers that the primitive dolichocephalæ of America are nearly related to the Guanches of the Canary Islands, and to the population on the Atlantic seaboard of Africa, which Latham comprises under the name of Egyptian-Atlantidæ.
The same form of skull is found in the Canary Islands off the African coast and the Carib Islands off the American coast, while the colour of the skin in both is that of a reddish-brown.
The Exodus to Egypt
Atlantis was a civilization settled around the islands in the Atlantic Ocean, specifically around the Cape Verde Islands, the Canary Islands, and the Azores.
The Canary Islands were particularly significant, as they served as the starting point for the civilization's expansion across the world.
From the Canary Islands, they embarked on different paths to reach the Nile, which was their ultimate goal.
Atlantis in the Old Testament
The discovery of the Mount Los Atlantes seamount off the coast of the Canary Islands in 2024 has provided concrete geological evidence of a landmass that closely matches descriptions from Plato’s writings about Atlantis.
Evidence of Atlantis was found in August 2024.
Recent discoveries have brought new insights into the legend of Atlantis, particularly with findings off the coast of the Canary Islands in 2024.
Mummification
In "Atlantis: The Antediluvian World" by Ignatius Donnelly, it is stated that the Egyptians, the Guanches of the Canary Islands, and the Peruvians all shared this belief and practiced mummification as a result.
Donnelly mentions that mummification was practiced by the Guanches of the Canary Islands, Egyptians, and Peruvians, indicating a widespread tradition that transcended geographical boundaries.
American Evidences of Intercourse with Europe or Atlantis
Similarities in rock carvings between Chiriqui and Northumberland, and in symbols between the Canary Islands and Lake Superior, further support the theory of a common Atlantean ancestry.
The resemblance between the skulls of the Canary Islands, African coast, and Carib Islands supports the idea of a trans-Atlantic population movement.
The Identity of the Civilizations of the Old World and the New
The Guanches of the Canary Islands, Egyptians, and Peruvians all believed in the immortality of the soul and preserved their dead through mummification.
