CANARY ISLANDS

HISTORY IN NAMES AND HISTORY OF NAMES

Our way lay through Matansu and Vittoriju — these two names often meet on cards of the Spanish colonies and as though symbolise destiny of the radical people — slaughter and a victory.

Where to search for islands Blissful? On a card of Africa made on sources of the first centuries of pashas of an era, the archipelago at northwest coast of the continent, known now as Canary, is named by islands Blissful. As the basis to similar identification certificates of the Roman scientific Plinija Senior and Alexandria astronomer and the geographer Claudia Ptolemeja serve. However a pas cards if them to make a pas the basis of mythological representations at various пародов at various times, the island allocated with lines of the promised land, would lie in other regions known ancient the world. And the beginning of "search" of this earth goes back to an extreme antiquity.

For the first time representations about the magic island abounding with readily available gifts of the nature, have developed, apparently, at the people of the ancient East.

(On island there is also a source of an eternal youth, but a hint on its existence of Gilgamesh does not understand.) hardly having got a wonderful grass, it goes home, but to take advantage of a treasured trophy to it it is not possible: while the hero bathed, the grass was dragged off by a snake and at once having dumped a skin, has looked younger.
