Drone-flying amateur archaeologists have found the mummified ancient remains of 72 pre-Hispanic ‘Guanche’ natives in the holiday island of Gran Canaria.

The remains, 62 adults and 10 newborns, were found in the Valley of Guayadeque in Gran Canaria located in the Spanish Canary Islands.

Archaeologist Veronica Alberto and culture councillor Javier Velasco confirmed the discovery and said that the cave used by the Guanche people, aboriginal inhabitants of the Canary Islands at the time, dates back to between the eight and 10th centuries.
