The engravings are called \u201c<em>podomorfos<\/em>\u201d, because they are shaped like feet, and their purpose has not been widely agreed on by historians.<\/p>\n<h2>Tindaya: Sacred Mountain<\/h2>\n<p>In the pre-colonial era, Fuerteventura was inhabited by a Maghrebi ethnic group from North Africa. And for some Maghrebi ethnic groups, uncommon geographical features, including mountains, had a sacred character, as they were attributed to a manifestation of the power of nature. They believed that some natural monuments were inhabited by gods and should be worshipped.<\/p>\n<p>In Fuerteventura, the indigenous peoples worshipped many different manifestations of nature, but the most important was Tindaya Mountain, which they believed was a kind of personification of the gods.<\/p>\n<p>The role of the engravings is still debated in the research community. While some believe that they served as symbols of partnerships and marriages; others believe that they are drawn where the Mahos would impart justice, and the engravings symbolise the prisoners\u2019 feet; others think that the engravings are born from different religious rituals and indigenous beliefs, such as offerings to the Gods in exchange for water. Given that many engravings point towards <a href=\"https:\/\/gotenerife.net\/en\/explore\/teide\/\">Mount Teide<\/a>, some researchers interpret that the Mahos believed that the Devil lived on Mount Teide, due to the strong volcanic explosions that they saw from Fuerteventura.<\/p>\n<p>And so the legend of Tindaya was born \u2013 a mountain 401 metres tall and full of mystery. Only its walls and engravings remain as eyewitnesses of what really happened here: sacrifices, religious rituals, alliances, justice\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":22920,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_promoted":"","_job_location":"","_company_website":"","_company_tagline":"A mountain 401 metres tall and full of mystery in the north of Fuerteventura","_company_twitter":"","_filled":0,"_featured":0,"_remote_position":0,"_job_salary":"","_job_salary_currency":"","_job_salary_unit":""},"job_listing_region":[9],"job-categories":[15],"class_list":["post-173","job_listing","type-job_listing","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","job_listing_region-la-oliva","job_listing_category-nature"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Tindaya Mountain (Fuerteventura) 2026 \u2022 Everything you should know - Go Fuerteventura<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Discover Tindaya Mountain, in La Oliva.
