Guanche mummies : ウィキペディア英語版 | Guanche mummies
Guanche mummies are the intentionally desiccated remains of members of the indigenous Guanche people of the Canary Islands. The majority of Guanche mummies were made in the eras prior to Spanish settlement of the area in the 15th century.〔 The methods of embalming are similar to those of the Ancient Egyptians, though fewer mummies remain from the Guanche due to looting and desecration. ==Archaeological record==
Mummification on the Canaries remained confined to the islands of Tenerife, Gran Canaria, La Gomera, and El Hierro. The most well-preserved, and therefore the most thoroughly-studied, mummies were found on Tenerife.〔 In 1933, the Guanche necropolis of Uchova was discovered in the municipality of San Miguel de Abona in southern Tenerife. It is estimated that it contained between 60-74 mummies before the cemetery was almost completely looted.
