Another point tells us they were from Crete (and its colonies), besides this DNA. The Egyptians made detailed artwork of the “Sea Peoples”, including their arms and armor, which were distinctive. One group of these warriors wore helmets with horns on them. There is only one other group of people in the Mediterranean in the late Bronze age that wore horned helmets: the Minoan Cretes, who of course put symbols of the bull and minotaurs on everything.
There is also a palace in lower Egypt that is painted with distinctly Minoan murals. Archaeologists are still arguing whether it means Minoan royals married into some Egyptian dynasty, or whether the Egyptians just hired Minoan artists to decorate it, but it definitely established that the Minoans were more than just casual visitors on that side of the Mediterranean coast.
Good point. Another interesting point is that Dr Stephen Collins, leader of the Sodom and Gamorrah excavation in Jordan/Israel, believes that Sodom and Gamorrah were Minoan settlements because of art and architecture. Also because of pederasty
