The Ibero-Guanche (Latin) rock inscriptions found at Mt. Tenezara volcano (Lanzarote, Canary Islands, Spain): <i>A Saharan hypothesis for Mediterranean/Atlantic Prehistory</i>

Abstract

<jats:p>Two of the several rock script panels found at Mt. Tenezara volcano slope, Lanzarote Is. (Canary Islands) have been analyzed. Both of them contain a linear writing which corresponds to the ancient Iberian semi-sillabary discovered by Gomez-Moreno in 1949 AD, thus to Iberian-Guanche inscriptions which previously were referred as Latin. Ancient Iberian scripts have been found in France, Portugal, Spain and other Mediterranean places during the 1st millennium BC and the following four centuries AD; it may be possible that Iberian signs could have been taken or used at the same time at Africa. Even one of the semi-vertical panels considered as Lybic is in fact written in Iberian-Guanche characters. Also, Mt Tenezara shows Cart-ruts pointing to Equinoxes Sunrise. Findings are put in the context of a Sahara relatively rapid desiccation and a massive people migration to establish several classic and pre-classic civilizations, like Sumer, Egypt, Hittite, Hellenistic, Iberians, Lybic and Canary Islands Guanches, and possibly other Old Atlantic Celtic ones. Saharan Hypothesis is based on Geology, Columbia Shuttle (1981) infrared photographs that show prehistoric desert fertility, Prehistory, Anthropology and Linguistics. A fertile and heavily populated Sahara existed before 6,000 years BC.&#x0D; Keywords: Sahara, Latin, Scripts, Canary Islands, Iberian, Guanche, Lybic, Lanzarote, Fuerteventura, Quesera, Cheeseboard, Pyramids, Berber, Africa, Punic, Roman, Tenerife, Equinox, Tunisia, Algeria, Canarian,, Calendar, Raetian, Lepontic, Venetian, Etruscan, Basque, Cart-ruts, Sitovo, Gradeshnitsa, Usko- Mediterranean, Language, Tenezara, Juan Brito</jats:p>

Tindaya Guanche sacred mountain, Fuerteventura (Canary Islands, Spain) and its Ibero-Guanche (Latin) rock inscriptions

“…These scripts are very similar to other Iberian scripts found in other Canary Islands(Arnaiz- Villena et al 2019;2020a;2020b; 2021c), Ti-m Missaou (Algerian Sahara Desert, close to Mali) (Arnaiz-Villena et al 2021a), Cumbres Mayores (Huelva, Spain) (Arnaiz-Villena et al 2022a), Alcalar (Portimao, Portugal) (Arnaiz-Villena et al 2022b) and Zalamea la Real (Huelva, Spain) (Arnaiz-Villena et al 2022c…”

“…6. Rock scripts included in Iberian-Tartessian semi-syllabary (Appendix I) are found in a wide extension area including Cumbres Mayores (Huelva, Spain), Alcalar (South Portugal), Canary Islands (Spain) and Ti-m Missaou (Algeria, Sahara Desert).These scripts which may be found in a megalithic context (5000-3000 years BC)(Arnaiz-Villena et al 2020a;2020b; 2021a;2021b;2022a;2022b;2022c).…”

HLA alleles and haplotypes in Sudanese population and their relationship with Mediterraneans

“…An evolutionary pathway of writing may be observed from primitive Lineal Megalithic Scripts to other more recent and complex alphabets or syllabaries like those found in Sitovo 41 , Gradeshnitsa 42 or Iberian scripts widespread in the Iberian Peninsula, Canary Islands and continental North Africa 43 . Also, other common archaeological elements have been found in Europe and Africa (Canary Islands), including Western Sahara territory 44 , 45 . The findings pointed out in this study in relation to Sudanese HLA profile support this emigrational theory from the Sahara (and Sub-Saharan areas) to the Mediterranean Basin.…”

The Antequera (Spain) Slate: an undetermined writing found in a Roman-type Villa and the need of revision of Iberia history, anthropology and archaeology

“…These scripts which may be found in a megalithic context (5000-3000 years BC) or not. (Arnaiz-Villena et al 2020a;2020b;2021a;2021b;2022b;2022c;2022d). (Gómez-Moreno mentor and professor) thought thai it was not Iberian language, but another ancient Iberian language (Hubner 1893).…”
