Our experience from the PREP (Position Prehistoric Astronomy) has shown that scientific knowledge, barely 200 years existence, is too young to play the mythical knowledge, with more than 30,000 years old. We can not erase all of a sudden the ideology of the tens of thousands of villages that have existed on earth since man made his appearance.
On the other hand, ancient thought rarely goes to realities on the same level as modern science does. In this sense, it is necessary, once and for all, changing the traditional image we form of the "primitive" starting with the research method. We must begin to integrate
man with the natural environment that has shaped up to play the role of objects of thought. Passively perceived movements and changes in terrestrial and celestial nature. Then how the concepts and experiences through its general and particular logic. Wondering
nature of mythical thinking, F. Boas concluded in 1914 that humans demonstrating a predilection great for every living thing in nature, celestial bodies and other natural phenomena.
The first inhabitants of the Canary Islands from North Africa, arrived with the same idea of \u200b\u200bmythical thinking in a variety of ways. If we specify in which populated the island of La Palma, awara expect to find, of course, distinctions applicable to a distinct culture and territory.
From this point, the male (aware) and the world (an island benawara) become mirror images of each other. Soon learned to develop reasonable methods, from preset idea on the surrounding landscape. It is a timeless thought that seeks to capture the world as a whole synchronous and diachronic while getting to know the secrets of nature that we will never know.
The prehistory of La Palma has revealed the existence of three different material forms of worship: piles of stones placed on the peaks that surround the Caldera, channels, and bowls carved into the tuff and symbols with geometric forms, human and schematic alphabet engraved on the rock. A multitude of separate but simultaneous images, each of which brings particular knowledge, but whose whole is invariant properties connected on a single truth that facilitate the understanding of the world. Therefore, thinking of concepts describing immersed in images or structured sets built right through a structured on rules selected and retained from among all possible to achieve equilibrium. That is, conceived and acted.
Thanks to high school in La Palma we found, at least in part, a coherent system in any way we could not even guess just from archeology. When you want to study the material remains only have to look about him, but to study a material element of religious nature we must learn to direct the light in the distance.
A procedure that ties it all together religious, mythical thinking, must be applied together, accompanied by rules action, to decrypt messages given significant in ancient codes that we must translate our own messaging system.
This system, which we had access, allows to capture the natural and social universe of the people who created it. "The set is therefore a kind of conceptual apparatus that filters through unity of multiplicity, the multiplicity through unity, diversity through identity and identity through diversity" (C. Levi-Strauss (2002): "The Savage Mind").
At this point, it should reflect the choice of sites and distribution of religious elements in the middle based on a natural cosmic scheme: basically the extreme positions northeast and southeast, northwest and southwest of the Sun and the Moon, ie the solstices over lunasticios cases and in the smaller cases.
Unlike our rational society, the awara never opposed to humans or the natural objects around them, as it were the whole reason for being. The last responses are in the vast cosmos. Then it is understood that careful observation and meticulous, turned completely toward the concrete, the symbolism is in its beginning and its completion at a time. The old mentality that owns and uses an ancient wisdom, do not worry, however, just to extend and deepen it. He is content to transmit it as received. Not appreciated as we are.
forms showing more than 10,000 rock carvings which still exist in La Palma are quite complex. This variety was not important, but they were not interested when allowed to guess what these have influence. The fantasy of the artist acts freely only within fairly narrow limits. This is printed from the prehistoric complex mind, its essence as a society engaged in intimacy with the cosmic gods. This is true of both traditional images of models
cloned cosmos.
The same can be said of other expressions of collective representations most sacred, the piles of stones and canals and cups. However, they attribute different but integrated roles in the same system of meanings. They serve to organize the space and time.
