Pyramid type structures in Canary Isles (Tenerife)

A complex of six pyramid type structures. Certainly a complex prehistoric spiritual landscape but needs caution to interpret.

Re: Güímar Pyramids Street View by Anonymous on Tuesday, 08 May 2012
Fake pyramids. Here's a pretty succinct review of Guimar: http://eye-on-wales.com/2012/05/06/making-up-pyramids/ The argument that these could not be made for mundane farming reasons needs to spend a little more time exploring the island - these structures litter the landscape for, what reason, you guessed it, farming - mostly land demarcation zones. Just because it's pretty and big, does not mean it is some great ceremonial temple.
