This monolithic block is associated with mummification practices of aboriginal Guanches (the mirlado).
The Guanche Stone is located on the littoral outdoor area in the ravine of Afur.
It also highlights the presence of a representation of the Carthaginian goddess Tanit,[1] represented by a bottle-shaped symbol surrounded by cruciform motifs.
The general outline of the monument reminds the form of stelae,[1] such as the runestones.
For this reason, it is thought that originally was an altar of sacrifice linked to those found in the Semitic[1] field and then reused for the ritual of mummification.
