But...but....it can’t be...we’re all descended from apes and I’ve never see a white ape.

More than likely they were the same racial stock as the Achaean Greeks and the Hittites.

Indeed, the Minoan shared the greatest percentage of their mitochondrial DNA variation with European populations, especially those in Northern and Western Europe.

When Atlantis sank we went north. ;)

Then, the DNA is raciss!

So all white people are cretans now. That explains everything.

I thought it was well established that Minoan script is a form of early Greek.

This explains the lack of graffiti found in archaeological digs.

And crushed skulls.

[yarddog]

I have never read or heard of them being anything but Caucasian.

[Mount Athos]

Just had to look at their frescoes

Try “Floquet de Neu”.

I’ve always noticed how Minoan women wore short sleeve tops that bared their breasts.

That lovely distraction has proven fatal to many an ancient civilization.

Not exactly.

The Minoans used two methods of writing, hieroglyphics (probably derived from but not the same as the Egyptian variety) and Linear A, a script but not an alphabet, which may have developed out of the hieroglyphs. Neither has been deciphered.

Linear A developed on the mainland among the barbaric Myceaneans into Linear B script, which has been deciphered and shown to be early Greek.

All attempts to similarly decipher Linear A have failed, which probably means the Minoans spoke a completely unrelated language.

Somebody “repaired” 2 or 3 of those. You kinda have to give allowance for the preservationist’s sense of aesthetics.

I bet $10 that the guys who owned one of these things -- -- would rub them with their thumbs for "good luck".

See what Rev Manning has to say, you better never say it, but he lays it out, this man has more guts than one man could have.
