Mahan, the "great island" that linked Fuerteventura and Lanzarote.
Diario de Avisos echoed yesterday the references in the social network of Twitter about "The Great Mahan", since the social network "has become a universe where endless curiosities about the Archipelago are shared. One of the latest has been brought by the profile of Fénix Canarias (@FenixCanarias), which is dedicated to "showing curiosities about the Natural Environment in the Canary Islands and involving society in its conservation", as can be read in its description, "says the well-known newspaper.
On this occasion, as we say, the aforementioned account recalls the great island of Mahan which, as he explains, "included what we know today separately as Lanzarote and Fuerteventura".
The formation of the underwater island building of Lanzarote was formed jointly with that of Fuerteventura, "because 40 million years ago they formed a single island called Mahan", explains the Government of the Canary Islands.
Fénix Canarias points out that "only 20,000 years ago it was emerged, during the late Pleistocene, when the sea level was 120 meters lower".
For its part, the EDRA-Origen Facebook profile, created with the intention of spreading the legacy of the ancient Canarians, points out that "probably the name of Mahan was assigned to him by an ancient Canarian from Fuerteventura very famous for his great height".
