Parallelism of Prehistoric Lanzarote (Canary Islands) Quesera/Cheeseboard Lunisolar Calendar and intriguing strip band channels of the City of David archaeological site (Middle East)

Abstract

It has recently been discovered and widespread in worldwide media that a  puzzling and unusual channel structures  have appeared at the City of David  archaeological site in Middle East (Al Quds - Jerusalem). No function has been  agreed  for them and their building age has been calculated in an uncertain time before 2800 years  BC when these  structures ceased to be used. We have been working in Lanzarote Island  (Canary Islands) rock epigraphy and other  archaeological matters in the last 20 years, and  we have found that the structure of “Quesera”/Cheeseboard of  Zonzamas was a lunisolar  calendar similar to the Egyptian one (365 solar days and about 27.5 days) built up by  aboriginal Guanches. It consists in channels carved in basaltic rocks in a precise way,  which is very similar to one of the  intriguing structures found at the City of David that  may also represent an ancient Egyptian-like calendar. The second  structure having  parallel channels may be either part of another “Quesera”/Cheeseboard-like calendar or  even a cart- ruts structure more widely defined in Malta as a Bronze Age construction.  Both structures might also be astronomical  observatories. We have proposed from our  studies in Lanzarote and Malta Bronze Age cart-ruts that they also may be  used to  measure time and astronomic observations. This specific homology would certainly may  bring Lanzarote  megalithic archaeological “Quesera”/Cheese board centuries of years BC  in antiquity. This so specific parallel between  artifacts found in Middle East and  Lanzarote could be explained by a “green” Sahara culture before desertification  started  10-5,000 years BC.
