Abstract

We discuss about the construction of a modern myth where archaeoastronomy has played an essential role: the Pyramids of Güímar, located in the island of Tenerife (Canary Islands). We summarize the results of archaeoastronomical, archaeological, historical, and ethnographic studies devoted to them as well as our hypothesis for explaining the motivation of their astronomical alignments.​
