The original mummy site?

Guanches are an interesting roup of people.

Too bad the Spanish wiped them out, or nearly did so.

Yes, too bad. And, in spite of this article, it is not settled whether they were descendents of Berbers or some other group of people who found the islands by accident. They were described as blond haired and blue eyed by the original conquistadors. So were Berbers deep in the Atlas Mountains in North Africa, but some think they may have been Celts or even descendents of the original population of Europe before the Indo-European invasion, like the Basques.
