Güímar is a town in the south of Tenerife, where six of the pyramids are to be found. They are safely housed today in the Ethnographic Park, which was set up by the explorer Thor Heyerdahl.
The Norwegian adventurer thought the constructions were similar to other stepped pyramids he had seen on his past travels. He theorized that they had been built at a time when people were traversing the oceans and that a link existed between the pyramid-building cultures of Egypt and those of Central America. He also thought it was possible that the Guanches, who lived in Tenerife before the Spanish Conquest, might have been responsible for building the pyramids.
Academics, however, did not agree and put forward the alternative theory that the pyramids are no more than piles of volcanic rocks that farmers had made when clearing their land.
