Knowledge profound suffering constantly looks for new avenues of research, walk and sometimes goes by the least suspected places. Therefore, more and more scientists who study prehistoric religious sites where you can confirm the intrinsic relationship between the sacred space and temporary movements of the Sun and Moon (solstices and lunasticios).
Last If we just know is undertaken by researchers at the University of Zaragoza in the sanctuary of Segeda Celtiberian (Calatayud) disclose the interest of the people Celtiberian by movements of the Sun and the Moon as a way of measuring time. Archaeoastronomical study led by Professor Francis Burian, has shown that this shrine has different guidelines lunisolar astronomical character, not just only in alignment with the summer solstice but also with the equinox and the Mayor stop the moon that marks the cycle of 18.6 years. Francisco Burillo, Segeda platform is one of the most important archaeological discoveries that have taken place this year in Spain. Gradually, universities are implementing departments devoted to prehistoric astronomy, aware of the excellent results they are getting, and administrations that support and subsidize this type of study.
And in the Canaries? We have universities, archaeologists, astronomers, one of the best skies in the world and the remains or traces of ancient peoples who scan the sky responses to its existence, numerous sites visibly aligned with the movements of the sun, moon and certain fixed stars but there is a puzzling refusal to something you can measure, test and demonstrate. It is painful to feel the fear that some people experience when, in the work of prehistoric, read or hear words like lunasticio, solstice, equinox, alignment, cosmos, ... relate a Reservoir and a mountain, the moon, a star or the sun itself Too much ignorance. The island of La Palma has, for several years, an association (Irueña-La Palma) with an original and pioneering project on prehistoric studies based on astronomical positions. Altruistic association whose method of investigation has come to the very root of ancient thought, revealing a system that connects all the sacred events in the cosmos. Many of the great discoveries that are being released worldwide have clear expression in the island of La Palma in a differentiated way. For example, the system of piles of stones marking a triple alignment with a topographic reference (the highest peaks in La Caldera and the island of Tenerife) and the Sun
The awara were smarter in their environment than think many people believe, designed landscapes in a deliberate ritual seeking to set up an ideological principle associated with the topography. If this is called Egypt, Mesopotamia or elsewhere emblematic of world prehistory or if its discoverer a renowned scientist, we would be today a global culture. Except for the monumental material expressions of the great civilizations, we have much to envy to the rest of the world. The complex system of topographic and astral directions found on the island of La Palma is wonderfully unique and important, both in quantity and quality. We do not rely on specific sites but in a system that covers everyone. It only takes an outsider to come, with much cache to see it, disclose it, and then surprised almost everyone. 
also exist which do independent research and do not perceive a penny for our work or for publications (everything we put in our pockets), which we report our knowledge generously wherever we require, we are not invited to the established circle of Congress, national and international projects, to travel the world with all expenses paid, by grants do not expect to act, etc, etc. And knowing that we now ignore and discredit us, over time and discuss our ideas later appropriations. Well, despite everything, and while some do not believe it, we are happy and we are extremely pleased by the discoveries made, identified by our ancestors and full of great inner peace.

The cave is the first natural coat, the first house, the first shelter for the living and dead. It is the place where lie the bones of ancestors awara. They were burying their dead in natural caves, close or far from their usual room. The intact burial sites are very limited, the product of an intense historical plunder, some motivated by the use of dust producing disintegrated or crushed bones as fertilizer, dust-known caves and excavations scientists and archaeologists since the nineteenth century to the present, the collection of corpses and mummies for mainland and foreign museums, and the most recent actions that have taken material out of curiosity or intention to redeem parts and that, over time, disappear or become part of shelves and cabinets individuals. 
Some archaeologists as Joseph C. Cabrera, María Antonia Perera and Antonio Tejera agree on the close connection between the diverse cultures in ancestor worship and sun worship. Specifically, for the island of Tenerife, Antonio Tejera concludes that the Guanches believed that their ancestors were to meet with the Sun, spirits of their ancestors accompanied the sun on its daily journey. Undeniably, some kind of link between the Sun with the role that their worldview would play their ancestors.
