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).
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.
