A recent study based on the astronomical position reveals the connection of the prehistoric site of The Guirre Toscas of the Roque of Agando by the two biggest stars in our sky, Canopus and Sirius.
The finding of a panel over a hundred characters Libyan-Berber writing in a cave of La Gomera records the greatest discovery Archaeologists found in the island site is hosted on the side of a cliff, in a major archaeological site that also include small concentrations of cave dwellings, burial and archaeological material. cavity opens into the tuff, guiding his mouth to the south. Its dimensions are quite small: about 6 m long, its maximum width reaches 2 m in the center and the height is extended to 2 m at the western end. An exterior wall of stone, more than 4 m long by 1 ½ m high, closes the cockpit. At its western end, the cave contains a hole of 16 cm in diameter in the ceiling. It is no coincidence has an importance that will reveal later.
both inside and outside the shack we are surprised by the presence of a number of bowls, some even forming part of the roof with individual small channels near the hole. Surface archaeological features are not appreciated.
The panel of rock carvings found in the wall, whose arrangement varies between 200 º / 210 º LN Discounting magnetism volcanic their true orientation is closer to the South, between 190 º and 200 º LN The engravings are scattered over an area of \u200b\u200babout 2 m long by 1.30 m in height.
Why were recorded over a hundred letters and a large number of cups in a cave as little significant both for its small size, the indoor humidity in winter and the dangerous vertical terrain? Clearly, we face a "small" shrine. On Tuesday March 30, 2010, we moved to the "Isla Colombina" to base our assumptions. Shortly before nightfall we arrived at the sacred cavity, prepare the camera and wait for the star Canopus we manifest. We had a great distrust in the sea of \u200b\u200bclouds covering the horizon. Came the darkness of the night and could not see anything, but In a moment, the heavens opened and in front of us with a twinkle appeared Canopus unthinkable. Occasionally, the clouds dispersed to show the star. In another range of clarity also grasp the alignment of the stars Canopus and Sirius. It was a prodigious lightning, extremely pleasant to realize that the brackets where the characters were recorded directions to the place where it happens this episode so magical. 
On the other hand, through the hole made in the roof you can pay attention to Agando Roque de landmark. Astronomically something extraordinary happens. Thanks to the efforts of our friend and colleague Thomas Vicente Jerez Reyes, who helped us enormously in the field, just to see how the biggest star in the sky (Sirius) is hidden behind the Roque de Agando, slightly skewed towards the South, but two thousand years ago concealed closer still the pinnacle of Roque.
The Linguist and historian Ignacio Reyes adventure ahead even with the last entry found in La Gomera Libyan mentioned foreign production, treatment or theft or colactación pact made in a poetic form. But more striking is the interpretation of one of the fragments panel which reads "əd rhrwb hmn ', is segmented and vocalizes "ərr HARAWA ed hamam was" literal translation of which reads: "Place where the water comes to livestock is not' or, more literary," Let provide water for livestock when it lacks ( it) ' ( www.ygnazr.com / ahamen.htm ). Please showers or request clearly aimed at Canopus star winter begins to be fixed in late August, shining brightly in the winter and disappears in April, coinciding with the rainy season in the Canaries. Perhaps the large number of bowls explain that same cosmic analogy with propitiatory rituals and callers from the fertile rain.
Observation and Canopus worship are well documented in the Berber world, be an important part as the core of their worldview. Canopus is the star of the sky, the oldest, the mother of all stars, key egg whose explosion created the universe we know (Pâques, 1956).
In the religion of old rubber trees were worshiped stars and performed an original relationship between heaven and earth, in this particular case, by the stars Canopus and Sirius in the sky The Toscas of Guirre and Roque de Agando on earth. The result is a major heading milestone in cosmology. Establish all these connections requires a great sense of observation and a precise knowledge of the topography and motions of the stars in the sky.
