Spanish term or phrase: La visión cosmológica
La visión cosmológica y el celaje aparecen como vector de organización y comprensión del espacio sagrado, en el que se despliegan asentamientos humanos trogloditas y santuarios rupestres, sorprendentemente adaptados a una geología y naturaleza únicas, alumbrando un paisaje cultural que aún conserva la mayor parte de sus elementos originarios.

I would appreciate your views on what La visión cosmológica refers to in this context. Thanks :-)

Cosmological outlook


Explanation:
I believe this refers to the great importance of the celestial bodies in the sky at night for ancient peoples which seemed to govern their way of life.

Example sentence(s):
  • That is, the sun instead of the Earth had to be regarded as the centre of the universe,but in the overall cosmological outlook, the universe consisted of fixed stars with the Earth in motion around the Sun.

cosmological vision


Explanation:
This has the same meaning as in English. It refers to the beliefs of the early inhabitants of the Canary Islands.

"Little information has survived regarding the religious and cosmological beliefs of the Guanches. Indigenous Canarian people often performed their religious practices in places marked by particular striking geographical features or types of vegetation, and certain sites containing architectonic remains and cave paintings have been identified as sanctuaries."
http://atlantisonline.smfforfree2.com/index.php?topic=651.75
"Risco Caído and the sacred mountains of Gran Canaria host an outstanding complex of well-preserved archaeological sites and cultural landscape belonging to an insular culture, now extinct, that evolved in isolation after the arrival of the first Berbers or amazighs from North Africa around the beginning of the first century AD until the time, around the late 13th and early 14th centuries, when seafarers from southern Europe came to the islands in search of new spice routes and slaves for the slave trade. This is, therefore, an exceptional heritage that expresses a unique and unrepeatable cultural process.
The site is organised and can only be understood in terms of its cosmological vision."
